Bobtheferret 1,224 Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Fair play to the dog not many dogs (including hunting dogs) would be able to catch enough rabbits to survive for a year in the wild. It’s very different catching a rabbit on the lamp or that’s been bolted by a ferret to catching them completely unaided by an owner. He looks well in the pictures so must have been catching well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogmandont 9,354 Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 There was a lurcher bitch that lived feral for a few years on a place we used to hunt she came off a travellers site even reared three pups to a good age and all looked the picture of health. They all eventually fell foul of a sheep farmer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A dog can catch the odd rabbit but sure as hell not regularly unaided and enough to live off. More than likely bins and hand outs 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More than likely bins and hand outs That lurcher I was talking about nobody could get near, me and a mate tried on several occasions and we weren’t the only ones and her and her pups looked healthy and far from starved and believe me the area she was in she definitely wasn’t getting handouts the only handout she got was a feed of lead. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Night Walker 591 Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 There's not enough fat on rabbits for a dog to survive just off them. Fair play to the dog though it must have something about it to survive that long on its own Quote Link to post Share on other sites
