When you are lamping and you see a rabbit a bit too far to slip the dog, do you leave the beam on and walk to the rabbit? (Trying to keep it squatted) or do you switch the lamp off and walk to the rabbit? (Trying not to scare it). I have seen both techniques work, but I prefer to switch the lamp off and sneak up close enough to slip the dog. My idea is that I’m not scaring everything else around and I can get myself between the rabbit and the way I think it going to run or find shelter.

Awsome dogs i want one!!!!

Now here’s a question when looking for the perfect running dog. Would you prefer long legs or a long body in the dog? I know you have got to, to a certain extent, have a mix of both but which attribute would you rather have in your running dog. Myself I prefer the longer bodied running dogs with the deep channel down the centre of the back. I think it gives greater turning capability and, dare I say it, even better turn of pace. I have seen a lot of dogs run and I do think the longer legged type lurcher do have the edge on stamina and strike capability and certainly faster on the str
