samurai 178 Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Believe it or not, I will be more than likely jumped on , but this Italian stops plenty rabbits, it had plenty of drive ,it’s crazy when it gets a scent but the same as last time this topic arose ,the conversation for me is over, I only put the pictures on cos some one asked what a bedlington x Italian looked like, I know what the dog is capable of and no he wasn’t bought as a working dog, he belongs to my wife but wanted to come out with the other dogs with me, he followed the cocker spaniel as it was bushing and soon picked up following him that something would be flushed.I have run dogs since the early 70s and no I wouldn’t think of buying one to work but this one is nearly 8 year old and has been with me since a pup,as much as he tries he can’t carry a full size rabbit very far. 5 Quote Link to post
