Not trying to be funny but the way you were going on at first I thought you had a few month old pup on your hands. You've bought an 18 month old dog and by the sounds of it you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a saluki x and a bull x. It's caught you a few rabbits and you seem to be getting on alright with it....I don't really get what your on here moaning about ? You were happy with the dog and didn't know any better until this lad told you it wasn't what you were told. Might just be me but I really don't know what your moaning about

recall mate once he has got the rabbit ive got no chance of getting him back!! he ran out across two feilds n across the road n just sat there so unless you like your dog running off everytime he gets a rabbit thats what im moaning about so i was seeing what you be best way to sort this out as i think missing this season out n just everyday working on recall would be best! thats all

[Ausnick 190]

you tried walking away from the dog when he has a rabbit? you said you chased him and have to pounce on him that's really not good...

From what I can gather YOU just need to put the work in, forget about the breeding or what the other lad said, it's irrelevant. And getting angry, chasing the dog or trying to pounce on it isn't going to help one bit. Get a dead rabbit and an extending lead and work on getting him fetching it back to you, reward him with loads of fuss when he does it etc. It's going to take time but you're fighting a losing battle if you're chasing after him etc. Just accept the fact that over the next few weeks you're not going to be doing that much hunting, but once you've put the time in and got the dog doing what you want him to do then you've got loads of seasons ahead of you.....the fact he's being a bit of an arse now is undoubtably a failing from the person you got it off, when you turn it around and get him spot on you'll be proud as punch pal...both of your dog and yourself.
