    Differs from dog to dog imo. what youre running and what land youre running on. i think down to the dog owners ,,,to know whats right my racing is yard lb,,,running weight is a very big part off there life,,,( too heavy - there too slow,,,,too light they have no energy ) some pins show,,on some dogs they dont,,,,but check there chest i,e man boobs if u like,,,thats were dogs fat is stored also ive seen dog,s show no pins,,,but on chest,, there thinner than a piegons chest,,,which aint good ( no energy ) ( its probably an art to get 100% right,,,but a

    my black dog in my signature,,,,was doing that last time,,,i was out,,plenty speed ,,,but if feild i noticed he hanged off,,from the strike, and thought about it for a while as he,s not injured,,,,iam thinking off not feeding him for a day,,i bet he strikes then,,a dog on a emty stomach ,is a killer,,,( but i havent tryed it yet with him,,but iam convedent i will be right )--( but there,s no garentee if it will work,,,,but thats dogs for u )

    nice powerful black whippet if u have there,,,,i have a very powerful b,w,r,a whippet picture below,,,,,athough he might be frowed apon in racing terms as might ur dog in hunting ,,,due too size & bulit,,,there,s no gettin away from the fact these built whippet,s bring to the breeding table,,,,( power & jaw power --being not to bad from the whippet side,,if put on bigger game,,,) i did noticed if pll,s breed down to a whippet,,,but dont want to lose to much built,,and power ur dog would defentily fitt the bill,,,but there is pro,s and cons ,,,,but i dont see u ,,,quite when it come

    thats a difficult one,,,, if he caught it brought to u ,,,,but he wanted to carry it,,,,,walking along side u ?????,,,,,,,if thats so the novelty for him will wear off,,when he,s hunting more and there more to be had,,,,,,aleast he,s retriving to u!!!!!!! ( i,e maybe not to hand but aleast he aint running off,) i think uve done the right thing by not making a big deal about it,,,and let him carry it for awhile,,,,,aleast ur not giving him in to trouble for carrying his catch maybe more practice in feild with dummy or dead game ,,,and praise him for retriving to hand and treats,

    Any dog can chase a rag but the clever ones wont ur 100% correct,, ,,but a smarter dog will do what the owner,s tell,s them ( if that means HUNT OR CHASE A RAGG OR DO BOTH ) as a smart dog knows who feeds it and will please its master what ever its sent on HOPE THE WEATHER STAYS GOOD FOR U GUY,S SORRY GUYS ABOUT PREVIOUS POST ABOUT RACING ,,,ITS JUST I LIKE TO SEE OTHER LURCHER BREEDS IN FULL STRIDE,,,AND I DO FULLY UNDERSTAND IF OGANISER,S DONT HAVE TIME,,,,( CUT US SOME SLACK MOO,,,IT WAS A STUPID POST,,,AND I WAS ABIT DRUNK,,,,AND ALEAST I PUT MY HANDS UP,,,AND SAY WELL,
