Little Butch 16 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Try taking It out with other Dogs, failing that just go to a place that you know holds Rats and let Him use his nose.... Regardless of Breed every Dog has a fairly good nose, should stumble across something. About the Rabbits; As I say It's best to go out with another Dog... Any questions just ask.

Running 7 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 keep at it i have had staffs on rabbits used them brushing and they will givern time use their noses well on anything rabbits fox and once it clicks they will catch try keeping it on the lead first and get close so they can see whats is what then let them off althought they will never catch as much as a lurcher you will get some good runs keep at it Quote Link to post
