I had a Bullx dog which would catch as many rabbits as any little rabbiting dog at the start of a nite out but would struggle to catch any at the end of the nite because the bugger would eat them!!!! I got me self a treadmill and got me self fit to run and grab them before he ate them lol!!!

Thinking about it..... to solve the problem you have to walk a bit of a tight rope.

 

Before I continue I'd also like to add taking advice off the net isn't always the best option because the person giving the advice isn't able to see the whole situation. ......if that makes sense.

 

Personally if I was faced with the same issue I'd keep the bitch on a lead for a few weeks around rabbits when out on exercise. No rabbits means no eating.

 

Then after a walk I'd have a dead rabbit handy to do a bit of retrieving. In the garden or confined space so she can't make off with it.

 

This is the tight rope bit . Let her mouth it but the second she starts to eat it chastise her. I'm not advocating hitting her . A simple growl would work for mine but you may have to be firmer.

 

Just my way at looking at your problem. I wouldn't say don't worry about it and go lamping. Test the dog in a controlled environment because you'll have no chance in a big field if she decided to take off and enjoy her catch
