Whippets and greyhounds are bred to run on a track not on rough uneven ground, lots of other breeds have tougher feet. Doesn't matter how fast a dog is if he's laid up

Have seen collie crosses do a good job with foxes but none of mine have been keen despite being given plenty of time and chances. My last bull cross killed loads but every rabbit came back alive, oddly enough he wouldn't kill rats either. There are good and bad examples of every cross

How is venus bred, she looks cracking

Thanks for advice , will try on rats and squirrels. Your comment about her thinking rabbits are too easy seems to be spot on for my bitch. Will stick at it as I'm chuffed with her ability Have had it easy up to now. Started with collie crosses and last dog was bull cross, all been natural retrievers

Sixteen months old

Hi all, am running a young bitch bred from established coursing lines, she is an awesome rabbit catcher but has started dropping every rabbit she catches and stands still while it runs to safety. She has been worked regularly since mld august but outings have been kept short. Anybody have any advice or experience of this
