crorider 174 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Not the best photo, took it from above, makes his legs look short. He's 17'' Nowt wrong with him for rabbiting, has he seen owt, does he show interest He's had 2 from the bushes so far but not in the open. Aint had much of a chance though, came within an inch once before but the rabbit was too near its den. He hasnt seen any proper out in the open. He's definitely got prey drive though, even if he sees one miles away and its got away he'll still run flat out 100 yards to try and find it Quote Link to post
Jumpin'Jack 68 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I would love to see that on a rabbit in an open field (not taking the p1ss either) Think it's a tidy looking dog! Quote Link to post

crorider 174 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Got another newbie question for ya's. How quick is a fox, is it quicker than a rabbit? And how tough are they? Just wondering cos my dogs always chasing them but so far theyve been too far away or right near their dens. A bit worried about what will happen if he catches one. He only slightly bigger if at all.
