I know they were originally bred for rabbit and fox hunting but are they still any good? I know very little about dogs.

I've got one - Eddie. Mostly they are show dogs here. Ours came from Nelson and he is a great little dog BUT they do have small dog syndrome. Ed is a brilliant ratter and possum dog and he'll flush phezzies. Would I have another one? Yes.
