No such thing as a good bird and rabbit dog. It's either one or the other. I say beagle for rabbit. There are so many good bird dogs I'd hate to single one out.

A lab is a great all around dog. Also, I've had great hunts with a buddy's Goldadore(Lab-Golden Retriever mix) on any game we put him on. If you have a dog that is well trained, then you should be able to present them with a scent sample(ex. wing, fur) and they will use that to identify what game you're going after that day. It takes a lot of time and patience, and understanding that sometimes a multi-game dog will become confused or excited when they scent other game that they have previously hunted.

This might sound a bit wierd, but our Miniature Pinscher is a good rabbit dog. Catches them.

Border collie. they are very smart and easy to train for any situation. They are mainly used for sheep and cattle but smats can be applied to any situation hunting included.

It's hard to have a really good all around dog. A lab would best best I suppose. Lab's are great for foul and can be darn good squirrel dogs too, but a bit too large for effective rabbit hunting. Beagles are best for Rabbits because of their small size getting into and around brush. I also love their yelp when they pick up a rabbit.
