Hey potsy, you buy your JR's specifically for hunting or is it something that you fell into finding out that JRT's are awesome for hunting - particulry rats. I'd love to see one take down a cat (i too hate cats - #### pets and worse for australia)- would've thought it'd be a bit of a fight for that size dog, but i spose if their doing it in packs - the cats got bucklies! anyway, if you can post a vid or photos that would be sick... drop us a story of the latest hunt. p.s - what do the dogs do on a roo hunt? flush them out/chase them down/create panick? ryan

Hey all, I’m from Newcastle, NSW. I am in the process of getting some sight hounds-whippets. I love watching these animals use their speed for hunting. I have been researching and am interested in possibly going to do some rabbit/hare hunting with the dogs, once they grow up. Its something of interest to me seeing the dogs do what they were originally bred for and instinctively know to do. I have been watching many ‘youtube’ vids of various hunting from ratting with terriers to ferreting rabbits with lurchers/greyhounds/saluki and find it utterly compelling to watch - I want to get involved eventually! I'm here to read and learn from those who have done it in anticipation of one day taking my dogs out for some sport. Plus from my readings; it seems I would be doing Australia a service by hunting as many rabbits as I could. cheers Ryan
