Rabbit to train my beagle

[shiftmx731]

I have a thirteen week old beagle that I've been training to hunt rabbit for the past few weeks. Been taking him out where rabbits are letting him sniff around also been using artificial scent and making a drag line. But now he needs to see the real thing and chase it. Does anyone have a rabbit I could borrow to teach the pup for a few weeks? or know where I could go to train him professionally? I'm in south Orange County. Thanks!

could you buy one at a pet store? not sure if this would work or be considered "animal abuse"

Ha, to bad you're not out here in Riverside. There's a field just outside my neighborhood teaming with jackrabbits. I've been training my Brittany out there and it's kind of a pain with all of the jacks that distract him.
