jf1970 328 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 i have read a few threads on here about lads up the dales lamping a few bunnies, they are getting very good bags and the rabbits must be in plague proportions there, but are the dales rabbit easier rabbits than else where or are they just very good dogs getting these big bags, this is e genuine question as i have never been there, so keep it clean and no bitching Quote Link to post

lapin2008 1,587 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 they are not easier, its the numbers that are generally higher who's to say that a 100 yard course up a 50 degree bank is easier than a 200 yard run on flat arable, i know which one I would find easier 1 Quote Link to post

trigger2 3,100 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 what would the average distance be that the dog would run the rabbit then. hard question to answer that alot of things to take into consideration like breed of dog and time of year. ive seen some good runs up the dales the couple of times ive been up there and ive also seen some easier runs. 1 Quote Link to post

lapin2008 1,587 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 you would have to define what you mean by Dales as well. The terrain varies massively, from really rough under foot stuff on the higher hillsides where some of the rabbits tend to squat/run/turn/squat/run to paddocks where the rabbits take off at full speed to where I live just on the edge of the dales with massive arable fields everywhere.
