My beagle at 18lbs isn't much bigger than that pug and she can put the run on even the biggest bucks.Quote:

My friend had a female border collie. She was the best rabbit dog I've ever seen. The only trouble was - she was so fast she'd catch the rabbits herself before anyone could get a shot off.
That could be my problem too. Milo is crazy fast and ridiculously agile. I would be afraid of hitting her because she would be on the rabbits tail the whole time or catch it before I could squeeze off a shot!Quote:

My wife's hand got cut up pretty back trying to pry her jaws open. Apparently she could be good for hunting though lol. Just not for a young couple whose entire extend family has dogs which are all alphas and too much chance for huge fights.
Side note my wife also had to put down her lab-poodle cross this weekend too because of cancer. It wasn't a good dog weekend... gave up one dog, put down another and trying to heal another from puncture wounds all over the neck and a broken leg :(
Yikes, sorry to hear this news.
