lampinglurcher 36 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 start of retrieving work with a dummy, and then use a rabbit skin around the dummy, then a dead rabbit. do this progression slowly and build it up. that will encourage it to bring back any caught game. i wouldnt of though you'll be catching many bunnies with a bulldog though and the chances are it'll be hard mouthed.
