Halfinch 51 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 My brother used to breed them, as already said, great guard dogs and a good family pet, but by no means a hunter, they'd struggle to catch a cat (although if they DID catch one they'd have no problem dispatching it ) What sort of work does your friend expect it to do?

will.f11 24 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Sorry for not making this thread here is a picture of her at 8 weeks old only one i got i would prefer to stick to a tested breed - suitable for the job in hand - weather it be marking up , rabbiting , lamping ect. im in no way saying it * wouldnt work* , ive can honestly say i havent tried lol , but for me , tested breeds will do . I think he bought the dog before wanting to hunt lol. He would just like to make a use of it I think. And it makes the whole thing so much easier Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think just marking burrows and catching rabbits that stray from the nets. He is posting on this thread now under the name of Why not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olliedakennard 0 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I have a friend who uses them for but not for rabbits they are too big and smalland could probably eat a rabbit in one as they can weight up to about 15 stone fully grown my mates is 12stone. So i think the answer is NO! Get a whippet grey or summin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And it makes the whole thing so much easier take it out with you and if the gamekeeper comes by or the farmer , you have protection and not have to leg it , there you go , a use , better still decide what sort of hunting you want to take up , and get a dog to suit your needs I dont personnally use dogs. I suppose if it likes the ferts it could just tag along and have a play with the rabbits! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
