my bull cross was the same in her earlier days, i learned to pull the rabbit neck whilstin her mouth quickly and she would just drop it at my feet

Quick tip I was given by a very good dog man many years ago, but not the sort of thing to do to a submissive or over sensitive dog! You know the 'web' of skin where the hind leg joins the body, at the front of the hind leg: just pinch that skin between finger and thumb: the dog will let go very quickly and whip its nead round to see what 'bit' it.

Like I say, absolutely not the thing to do if the dog is anything but stubborn and bloody minded: I've tried it on some of mine like that over the years and it works well: let go of the dog's skin the minute it lets go of the rabbit and praise it like mad. Put the rabbit in the bag straight away out of the dog's sight if it is the sort that wants to carry on grabbing at it and encourage it to go find some more, or get on lamping or whatever.
