Peter,
please explain? Do you mean he will track rabbits all the time if a skin is used? Rabbits will be one of the most hunted game animals on the farm.
As for blood, shooting a hare will get me some in good quantity, plus the next deer or three. Good ideas.
get the blood work up and running first so he learns to focus on the job at hand, then let him play with bunnies. he will always be abel to track fur because it is in his blood. but if you want him to be abel to go that blood track with out disturbence he needs to learn to focus on that first.
so in my book its blood first, when he shows you that he got the idea, then fur.
cheers
