Good topic , as i am still novice on running dogs some of the threads posted, i read i think god my dogs must be crap lol , we dont have golf courses , but we do have very short pony paddocks , and very fast rabbits , both dogs have had the odd rabbit from these fields but also a lot of misses , i much prefer the cattle fields , but i do walk the local ones in the day light if possible and any rabbit holes out in the field , i stick branches in them , i no you cant avoid all dangers but i do try and run them as safe as i can .
