Some terriers were bred to go down holes in pursuit of rabbits so if the dog reverted back to its 'primal' instinct, it is very possible that certain terriers would kill a rabbit, especially one that fled from the dog.

Why do foxes kill rabbits and why do they bite off the head?

Foxes kill rabbits to eat them, or at least that is the primary objective. Sometimes predators kill simply because that is their nature. Cats bring mice and birds home without eating them, bull-dogs kill bulls and don't eat them, terriers kill rats without eating them, etc. The decapitation is simply the result of the manner of execution. Foxes strangle rabbits by biting them in the throat and then jerking them around, and decapitation can be the result of over-enthusiasm.
