Thanks for uploading that mate, I've never seen anything like that before - it's amazing! How do they train their dogs to do that?

start them young with a rabbit skin with rags stufffed in it and throw it and get your pup to bring it back, a lot of well bred dogs will do this without much problem, here is my big lurcher bringing back live to hand, jeff

That's amazing that you can train to bring them back unharmed!
I'd love to go hunting with my Jack Russell - I'm sure he'd love it too, it's what they're meant to do after all, not sit around looking cute all day!

Love the video Jeff, thanks for the link! The title grabbed my attention straight away! Looks like they had a really fab day, I bet the rabbits tasted so nice after all that work!

Its funny that you posted this actually as my English bull is just over 2 and his prey drive has really come on well! I trained him on a ball, to get his fetches and sprints... out of no where he has gained a real interest in rabbits, He has a good chase every time we are out and goes full tilt with ones in the field, he is a little more hesitant when the rabbits are around cover but still mixes it in the thorn bushes if he has a scent! Im just waiting for the day when he gets his own and we can share the meal.... I really don't know if he is fast enough being a bully lol but it's fun none the less. Im half tempted to get a spotlight and see how he is on the beam...

I love your idea about stuffing a skin with rags, will do that when the earth provides me with a suitable and baggable target!
