rabbit dogs

Do you know anyone that hunts rabbits with beagles? If so talk to them about getting your pup out running with them. That is what some will do here when they are starting a pup out. They give them a few runs and then work on them some more so that they will get the hang of it.

My Grandfather, would tie a dog on one side of his house.
Then take a rabbit fur, and let the dog smell it good.
Then with a string tied to it, drag it around to the other side on his house.
And drag it around about 50 yards.
Then let the dog go, at the spot where he started dragging the rabbit fur.
He always had good rabbit dogs.
Hope this helps.

That's what they are bred to do. Take your dog to an area you see lots of rabbits. We start alot of young dogs in our city park. We keep them on a leash and walk them around until we see a rabbit. We take them to that spot and let them smell it. We let them smell several rabbits and then we take them to a spot where we can turn them out on a rabbit they can see. They will run it by sight at first and they will figure their nose out really quick. If you can find an older slow dog that works great too.
