porkypowell 2 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hi I have been looking a lot at the pics on here. I notice a lot contain images of lurchers with bunnies most of them look dead. Is a soft mouth no longer a quality people have in their lurchers. I used to sell my rabbits to a game dealer for a £1.00 with jackets on 100 at a time early 90`s. Are rabbits no longer valuable and just good for ferret/dog food. Not having a go at anybody just a question as I have been out of touch for 10years. Simon Quote Link to post
tote 843 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Here's a pic of my dog retrieving a rabbit Simon.If you have a look in the ferreting section you will find a thread asking how much everyone can get for the rabbits they catch,in general the price is poor,even for clean unmarked rabbits.

A bit of back ground to the capture and good retrieve please (was it a ferreted bunnie). I like the look of blue merle if thats what the dog is regarding rabbit price I thought the price would be good after some of thoses trendy satalite programmes such as "river cottage" put rabbit on the menu.

tote 843 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) The dog is 3/8 collie X 5/8 greyhound the rabbit was bolted by the ferrets,I don't bother with purse nets when i'm out for sport,on that day the dog caught 9 out of 11 bolted rabbits. Here he is patrolling the top of the burie. Edited February 13, 2007 by tote Quote Link to post
