Hunting with the Kelb
tal-Fenek in Malta
The dog is searching for
hidden rabbits in the
rubble stone wall.
The dogs are announcing a hidden prey.
The ferret is an
indispensable companion for rabbit hunting
with the Kelb tal-Fenek.
A break during a night
hunt in Malta: The dogs are getting water.
The basket on the right side ('garzella') contains the ferret.
Sometimes the Kelb
tal-Fenek is also used to accompany
herds of goat and sheep on their way to the pasture
grounds (photo from Gozo).
An old photo. Rabbit
hunting with the Kelb tal-Fenek
has a long tradition in the Maltese Islands. However, the
gun is only rarely used.

high need of exercise.
