I must be missing something, a 20 month old collie lurcher dog pulls up and comes back whilst chasing a rabbit,various health/lack of running quarry reasons.......its ok ,its fine,dont give in with it keep trying......A saluki lurcher pulls up running an hare,at any age,no matter if its its sixth hard run.......its a jacker and has to go...?? whats the difference........daylight
A dog can pull up on cramp! especially after 4 or 5 hard runs on the fens! A good owner wouldnt get shut of it, if it was a good fen dog. Imagine geoff ogden or tony howley or jimmy ford getting you a pup,
