pointer_dna 0 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) Hi mates, I am into English pointers and retrevers, but also I go ferreting .I train dogs professionally as well-obedience training and rescue work. This year I was thinking of getting Pharaoh hound to hunt rabbits, please can some one give me some advice how to start a puppy on rabbits as I am totally green on rabbit hunting dogs and may be some advance training for futer training. I guess pharaoh hounds are a like lurches. My idea is to run the hound and possible flash rabbits and also he will indicate me some barrows with rabbits in ,,,, that I send my ferret and when the rabbit escapes I get the Pharaoh hound to catch it or i shoot it. . . thank you in advance dave Edited June 23, 2009 by pointer_dna Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I personally wouldnt get a pharoah hound to start with but, if thats what you want then I wish you the best. Take it out to watch ferrets bolting rabbits into nets. Let the dog catch some easy bunnies. When the dog is mature enough, take it out lamping at night and get some easy squating rabbits. Make everything easy at the start for the dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Just make sure you also get a firearm cert for the hound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
