Many breeds chase rabbits, especially hounds such as the Beagle, Shandong Sighthound, Greyhound, and Whippet. These dogs are very fast, have great stamina and high explosive power, so they can catch wild rabbits fairly easily. Among them, the Beagle was once a small hound bred specifically for rabbit hunting; it is a very ancient breed, similar in appearance to the Basset Hound, with strong bones and developed muscles, and is excellent at chasing wild rabbits.
