Hunting Rabbits with Dogs

What is Hunting Rabbits with Dogs.

Dogs can be utilised in many environments for a variety of purposes.

At Evergreen we use various breeds, including Terriers, Lurchers and Pointers depending on the location and nature of the job. Dogs are often used to flush rabbits from vegetation, wire ducts or other tunnel systems. They are then caught in nets or shot by a waiting marksman. Trained lurchers and whippets are also used to catch and retrieve rabbits in more open areas.

This versatile method allows us to  complete jobs without the need to for toxic gasses

When Rabbit Hunting with Dogs is used.

Where rabbits cause a problem in dense cover we employ Terriers or Spaniels to flush rabbits into strategically placed long-nets or into the paths of marksmen with shotguns.

Terriers fitted with a tracking system can also be used to clear rabbits from tunnel systems such as wire ducts, as well as from under buildings. Lurchers and Whippets are often used to catch rabbits in more open areas where firearms are not suitable for health and safety reasons .
