    Once, during breeding season, a girl had ignored all the “Keep Dogs on Leash” signs, so the dog plunged into the water to chase some baby ducks. When we passed the girl stood there screaming for the dog to return, but just like Fred, he “ducked” on. We really felt sorry for the mother duck, quacking and quacking to her kids.

    Hey, he’s just doing what Bassett Hounds DO. ( They were bred for chasing rabbits in the first place. )

    Looks like fun to me, but Fred wouldn’t know what to do with the wascally wabbit once he caught it.

    >Is “rabbiting” a word? In Britain at least?

    Yes, of course. (a) as in hunting rabbits, but (b) Cockney rhyming slang ‘rabbit and pork’ == talk – rabbiting on means talking incessantly. So Fred is rabbiting in both senses.
