And thats that! shes the one and I'm going to stop all the mind changing that I keep having over and over. If i could I'd keep two of the pups but i can't. I'm having a hard time selling one of my hounds to make room. So I can only keep one.

This is her. She found the rabbit the first time I ever let her out of the kennel to run the yard. The pups have been on the ground running handful of times and every time Daisy Jr is the one that finds the rabbit and stays under the rabbit cage trying to get him. Now if that don't mean something then I don't know what to think!

So here she is My pick of the litter. She is almost identical to her momma daisy.

Now for a name?

she is 7wks old

Sounds like a great way to choose a pup! Reminds me of my Nicci pup when she was that small, she would jump on the back of my tame lionhead rabbit and got pretty good at sniffin him out too when I hid it the bunny in long grass.

Nice pup Joey, Good luck with her, Keep us updated

she's definately interested in that rabbit! what did the rest of the pups do when you let them out? Where they interested in the rabbit too?

no. the other pups could care less about the rabbit. The other two pups run around and play. She is the only one that has and keeps going back to the rabbit to spend time whinning at it and getting so excited about it. she almost let out of puppy bark a few times.

Its got to mean something? How in the world does she already know. I never showed her the rabbit she found it on her own and keeps spending a bunch of time trying to get at the rabbit. I've been trying to encourage her a bit to get her more excited about the rabbit.

I had a little male pup sight chase at 8 wks and open on scent at 9 wks. It could happen with her! Let that rabbit out and let her pull some fur!!!

its tempting but Mr. Rabbit doesn't play fair. She might get her Butt kicked. He isn't the nicest rabbit. He likes to swat his little front legs like a boxing champ and he will run at you.

She definitely wants a piece of that rabbit 2x her size!!! I'd say that has to be one of the best ways to pick a pup I ever heard. That pup got more drive to get that rabbit than some started dogs I've seen

Good luck with her!

Joey, good choice ,based on the way she acting in that video, dont think any issues with wanting to hunt.. Good luck and let me know when you take her out first time with the rabbit, see if you can get , or make a rolling cage for the rabbit to move and see if she will chase, I am sure she will..
Just get some wire mesh and roll into a 12" round cylinder and 18" long, and then cut out 2 pieces of wire mesh 12" round to cover the ends and wire tie shut with rabbit in it, I am sure she will love it, and so will you.

we will have to try that with my litter to see i really don"t know witch one to pick either but i think you made a good choice

looks like a good choice Joey.

Best luck you will have is let everyone pick you take the one no one wants there you will have a rabbit dog its all a gamble you done good try to pick the best get rid of the rest lol myself if im going thru the trouble to whelp the little fellers im keeping them all to see which one is the best

That's cool, Joey! Who's the sire of this litter?

one of my trails males.

Great lookin' pup! I love when they show a lot of interest real early like that.

Looks like you got a winner there, Joey...
