My boy is 16 now. And 1 16th beddy, the rest whippet. In his day he was dynamite. Once when lamping i had 5 rabbits in hand still alive because i didn't have to time to neck them as he caught them and zoomed off after another one. He wasn't really fast enough for hares or big enough for deer but he was terrific on rabbits which is what he was for. He was happy to dive into gorse bushes to get to a rabbit (hence the ear), good jumper, put his heart into everything. This pic is him chasing a jack rabbit in California

I never said a sport trainer, he needs a good trainer who can get the dog perfect. They need to obey commands INSTANTLY 100% of the time. And they need to use their judgement and NOT attack when appropriate and to STOP an attack on command. I wouldn't be able to get a dog to that level. Neither would most of us. But if that dog bites just once when it isn't appropriate there's hell to pay, understandably. A good, experienced trainer is worth their weight in gold

I wouldnt get a mali unless you are able to dedicate HOURS a day to exercising and training it. A good, working line german shep would probably be your best bet. And then devote as much money as nec to a good schultzhund trainer

Where do you get that from mate?

I wonder why this delightful little chap wasn't allowed on the flight

FFS! I didnt seethis one coming Sad day. He was a good bloke all round

Terrier or collie i would guess

Honestly mate all bushing is, is walking the dogs in a place where there's bushes and every now and then a rabbit in a bush. If the dog doesn't really seem to know what to do you can teach him by going out and sitting in the car with a rifle and when you see a rabbit, shoot it. Try and get a couple. Then put the gun away and take the dog for a walk and "find" the rabbits you shot. Have a tug of war with them, then make a BIG fuss of the dog. Let him know he's a good boy. Then take the rabbits home. Skin them and eat them and let the dog have a bit of them so he knows that rabbits have value to

Badger eats like that. Iv found plenty of rabbits inside out like that

Not always true. To US its a sport but to the landowners its a service. They "just want the buggers gone". When i moved from yorkshire to the south the police didnt want to give me my firearms and shotgun licenses because i had no local permission. So i put an ad in the local paper "FREE PEST CONTROL. RABBITS, FOXES, PIGEONS, CORVIDS". I got plenty of permission like that. I also got calls asking if i could do rats, wasps etc and thats how i started my first pest control firm cos i was like "not for free i cant"

Just keep him seeing the dogs through the bars, he will get used to them over time. If he got attacked by a dog while he was roaming he will take a while. If you get to a point where he is used to the dogs but not super confident wait till he is in one of his sleeps, you know the type where you think hes dead, you know how ferrets do that. Pick him up and put him on top of your dog who you know is super steady with ferrets. Preferably while the dog is also properly relaxed. If the ferret wakes up slowly and slowly becomes aware it is on a dog and not being attacked it will help a lot.

Couple of gonads lol

Use snares

I never go out before 11. Most of the preying eyes and jobsworths have gone to bed by then. You want it nice and windy and pref no moon. Stick to the edges, walk INTO the wind, shine out into the field, see them eyes and try to get closer and when you slip try to be between the rabbit and where its going to run to.
