Never heard of anyone using a australian shepherd but know people who have used border collies for ferreting with nets and talked to some who have used kelpies and a working bearded collie. As with all herders temperament is the key. i had a border collie as a kid for 17 years not for rabbiting but he put a dent in the local pheasant population mooching about.

same as above never heard of anyone using a Australian. Have mooched about with a border bitch at work on and off for years, she's never seen a ferret or nets but I'm sure she would pick it up no prob. She marks and hunts up. I often look at the failed sheepdogs for sale but that's as far as I've got..
