My dog (Springer) just lopes towards them at a gentle trot, and tries to make friends.

The rabbits though are a very cliquey bunch and don’t want to socialise with her, which she finds quite disappointing.

Hope he doesn’t come across this rabbit

Certainly seems to have found his rabbiting mojo, got another one today, he seemed keener to keep this one though.

Years ago, a friend of mine had a golden retriever that was a big soft lump at the best of times. However my friend was a fell runner, that ran with his dog 8 to 10 miles a day, subsequently Max (the dog) could run down most rabbits by dint of stamina rather than speed, much to the suprise of any onlookers as well as the unfortunate rabbit. 🙂 He always killed them and growled like crazy when you tried to take the belated bunny off him.
