Well Wildhare because as I stated in my post I don't believe a hunter will sell his best dogs and I'm not interested in trials or titles it is my opinion that if you can find a rabbit dog that is absolutely broke at best the dog will be solid not anything special. I would not pay more than $500.00 f...

First a hunter or someone who knows dogs won't sell what they feel is their best. second trialing is what has drove the price of these hounds up just look at what your saying to justify those prices. Third I have no prblem with trialing I'm sure some good fellowshipping goes on at trials but trials ...

Rabbit it appears you already know the answer to your question but if you ask these guys it's not about the money.When I sell a dog I always give a trial period and if you believe what your saying about these high dollar dogs and puppies a trial period and a guarentee on these puppies shouldn't be a...

I find plitical conversation interesting. I personally have never voted a straight ticket but admittedly I normally vote republican. I wonder if many Bush bashers realize that we are most likely about to have something I don't think I've seen since I have followed politics. Let me elaborate, normall...

Duece I would have to agree with you. Speaking from a rabbit dawg point of view getting what you wanted would be the best reason to make the same cross again. I would breed to the same male dog several times if he produced what I was looking for. What I have learned about this board Duece is that th...

I personally prefer not to breed a dog until I feel good that the dog is an absolutely broke rabbit dog in the wild under the gun. Turning down all off game. Having said that sometimes circumstances will force your hand so do what you feel you have to do.

I too know exactly what you guys mean. I have owned some outstanding jump dogs, some top notch check dogs and some that could run the hair off of him (so to speak) but I have never owned one that was outstanding at all of that. I have owned and have right now a real stong pack of solid rabbit dogs b...

BJK, I don't know where there is too many at but I hope you find some. Most of the times I have been the dogs could stay after the rabbit but I have only hit the scenting decent once. I'm happy with the way they are hunting their in January form and have been for the last few weeks. I really love ge...

Buddy I am just getting the time to respond but Daniel has actually said what my definition of a rabbit dog is. All of the other points made were good ones as well. I won't keep a dog past around 2 years old that runs anything but a rabbit by hmself or under pressure. Broke to me means exactly that....

Just goog discussion here guys and girls. I am interested in what everyones definition is of a rabbit dog. No bashing anybody elses dogs just your opinion.

I like 4 but I will hunt with 5. 5 is my max no matter the conditions.

12 Guage mossberg pump with the barrel sawed off at 22 inches or there about. When I do shoot one it is normally close because these cutovers in NC are thick and I don't want to shoot the rabbit up usually only land 2/3 shot but that will do the job. 7 1/2 remington low brass is my choice.

I normally only shoot 15/20 a year. The guys I go with after deer season like to to kill some so usually there will be between 75/100 killed for the dogs a season. Last year 87, best year ever only 102.

I guess what is available to you would effect the poll but I have fed Black gold, good feed just hard to get. I feed 24/20 Buddy boy.

I am defenitely interested bluemouse. I grew up about 6 miles on the NC side of the Horry county South Carolina state line or about 30 minutes from Myrtle Beach. It has been a while since I have been to Charleston but from Rocky Mount I-95 basically all the way. PM me your phone number and I will ca...
