big rabbitting dogs


Recommended Posts

well i had a litter last year and i kept three pups the dam is 24" TTS and one of her pups the bitch is 24" TTS and i know they are spot on sizes for catching rabbit but the two dogs we kept only one is flat out working and he is 27" TTS but the other one is 28" TTS, well i was wondering if you think these two dogs at this height are too big for rabbiting or to be good rabbiting dogs ?

My dog is 28" and at a year old was gettin about 3 or 4 out of 10 or 12 slips before the end of the season, and this is in wee fields that are fast going because thats all we have around here. I wouldn't worry about it.

Same here.Only have small fields.

i think the way the dog is put together counts more than height, long an racey with proportioned muscle as apposed to short back wide chest and over muscled.
