JordKil 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) I noticed ages ago that some folk here had pet rabbits. I take it that you also hunt them with your dogs and do you keep the dogs and rabbits any where near each other (in the same house in the garden together) or do your dogs just want to kill them? Its an odd question but its been annoying me for a while lol. Edited to say I dont actually have any Im nae a fan but I find it interesting Cheers Jordan Edited March 20, 2009 by JordKil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JordKil 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 So I take it that the lurchers can tell a wild from a pet?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferret15 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 we have a couple of pet rats and my bullx who like nothing better than to bite rats head off all day long will let them crawl all over him we also have a cat that sleeps with all four of our dogs i think it comes down to pack order if they know you are top dog then all other animal are of limits within the house, although the ferrets seem to think the cats fair game.
