Used to ferret some allotments that place had alot of black uns and once we dug one that was like a blue hare in colour and not far off the size right wierd rabbit ,some red uns aswell

Another block at back of our estate held a load of varied coloured rabbits for a couple of years but a woman who had a small holding had a few pet ones and they had escaped and x bred with wild ones

IV definitely bumped into a few that seemed more crafty than the norm mate why that is I don't know but looking back n them two when we was kids really every one n his dog gun the lot was after those rabbits n once they was finally done after what felt like years it was a shame they deserved to live them two..

That's a good mincer doing full rabbits ideal

[Bosun11 537]

All my dogs have always been decent rabbit dogs, no matter what the cross. Firstly because I believe the definition of a Lurcher should always be decent at that game, and secondly, because I had a great rabbit speck just up the road, so no excuses. Not that I wasn't prepared to travel for my rabbits.

Fawn was probably the very best of them. She came as a giveaway pup, that I really didn't want, but her breeding was more than good enough to keep me feeding her.

Fawn was out of a bitch called Ness, who was out of a Minshaw dog called Obo, put to a half bred bull bitch.

Fawn's sire was a predominantly collie bred dog called Sonny, bred out of Plummers Wooly Bear, to a Local 'hard as nails' lurcher bitch. Sonny's claim-to-fame locally was killing a Doberman dog in the middle of a shopping precinct, but he was really a demon fox dog.

Fawn grew to be different than either of her parents, in that she was as soft as shite. Run her on a fox, she would just get behind it and pull up, coming back with her smiley face and a wagging tail. Foxes, or anything that bit back just weren't her game. She was lovely and a pleasure to own.

Rabbits and hares were different gravy, she really was mustard, especially on the lamp. She was such a cleaver bitch, knew all the moves, had endless stamina, and made the game easy. I ran her from Dumfries to Dorset and she never put a foot wrong, honest..!! Enough lads in the game seen her run and all were impressed.

She really excelled when I scored a nice bit of 'permission' just outside of Hawick. She discovered Roe deer,  and these became her fave quarry.

I never bred out of her, my full attention had turned to foxes, and it was all about real fox dogs. With her breeding I should of, and it's something I really regret.

This is me and a mate, with a very modest score of rabbits, but it's my fave picture of Fawn. She's got a smile as big as mine...
