Believe it or not, I will be more than likely jumped on , but this Italian stops plenty rabbits, it had plenty  of drive ,it’s crazy when it gets a scent but the same as last time this topic arose ,the conversation for me is over, I only put the pictures on cos some one asked what a bedlington x Italian looked like, I know what the dog is capable of and no he wasn’t bought as a working dog, he belongs to my wife but wanted to come out with the other dogs with me, he followed the cocker spaniel as it was bushing and soon picked up following him that something would be flushed.I have run dogs since the early 70s and no I wouldn’t think of buying one to work but this one is nearly 8 year old and has been with me since a pup,as much as he tries he can’t carry a full size rabbit very far.

just  shows even though it's a lapdog the hunting instinct isn't far below the surface...

of course not one would purposely buy one for hunting...but it's nice to see given the chance they will have a go no matter what there limits are..

remember andys pom...tell you what I bet that dog of samurai wife has a better life for it...and probably longer if it avoids injury..
