Baby rabbit - almost no more

[Roxibear]

Ran right across Roxi's path on our walk about an hour ago. She chased and, unbelievably, it about turned right into her path. This all happened very quick, she grabbed it and it let out a squeal, it was at this stage I realised what was happening. I yelled at her to let go, and don't know if she was just being obedient or it was the shock of my yell, but she did and it scarpered. This is my fault as I have been letting her chase, not thinking for a minute she would catch one. Should I put a stop to her chasing? She doesn't show any interest in cats or small dogs, but I don't want anything to develop.

Stupid rabbit. If it is a safe place for her to run, I wouldn't worry about the local wild life.
Keep her UTD on shots

Dog just being a dog IMO don't worry about it as long as he has his shots. Good dog for letting go when told. Its interesting how different animals have different prey drives. My boy jake wont take the least bit of interest in cats (perhaps because of the 2 mean ones he has at home), but really perks up at the sight of squirrels, rabbits and birds. He is very interested but just stands and watches won't pull on the lead at all, but watch out if a butterfly or leaf blows by he'll pull your arm out of socket romping with them.

Is this an off leash area?? What if that would have been a small dog?? A Rottweiler chasing, catching and hurting something small is something I would not want to see a responsible owner condone. What your dog does when in the privacy of your own backyard is something different, but in public we have to be the picture of responsibility. If you allow your dog to chase things they will eventually catch something, then what??

Just my opinion!
