Yes I had her out with another young dog and he was doing exactly what she is doing now .Im not saying that is the reason she is doing it' its just that i have a lot of experience with lurchers and i never seen a dog or bitch doing that. Normally if they start retrieving they continue to retrieve.Im not saying i know everything about lurchers but this has me really puzzled.I would love to be able to solve it because she has the making of a good one.

mate can still be just as good even if she dont retrieve in my opinion. they can only bring it back if they catch it after all!!!!! hope you sort it but dont worry to much if she drops them they are still in the bag lol!!!!!!!!!!
