Took my lab out rabbit hunting today. He is starting to get the hang of it odly enough. He won't run them like a beagle but he is almost 80lbs which makes a great pile stomper!! He knows we are looking for rabbits so he leaves no piles of brush untouched. Just wondering if anyone else has or had a pup like this? Its kind of funny to watch the big fella try to squeeze his head u f'er every brush pile.

Labs are smart, once you show them what you're looking for they look for it. All they want to do is please you. Mine is the same way.

I had a Yellow Lab that chased Snowshoe hares, he wouldn't bark on the track. I did shoot a few hares in front of him, but you had to know where the best runways were in the area he was chasing. Also, you had to be fast, because since he didn't bark he was usually not far behind tHe rabbit, and they were always in high gear.

I will continue working with him this winter hopefully pick up a few beagles this summer to add to the excitement. I always have had or hunted with buddies who have had beagles growing up, but past few years all those buddies have moved. Hunting rabbits with a dogs is one of my favorit things to do late winter

Hope you dont run phesents he will get on a rabbit and not a bird you will be mad at him most times but its not his fault just doing what he was shown just my 2cents of having one do the same as you are describing but hell dogs blow my mind one may do one thing and othere will do another there is dogs that can run more then one critter/winged animal hell vons cures can do tree rats coon and yotes
