Opening up/ giving tounge

[john hubery 9]

Just wondered how other members feel about dogs opening up and giving tounge, I was having a chat with a local lurcher lad today and the subject came up, he has no time for a speaking lurcher, don't know if may be as I get older my standards are sliping, but to me now that I don't sneak around like I did years ago, on place's I may be shouldn't have been, back in those days no way would I have even considered keeping a dog that gave the slightest of yip's or would I have kept a white or heaverly pied dog, but now you see them in greater numbers all the time, so to me if a dog is doing his job and doing it well and getting a little carried away with himself, so what, now I don't mean screaming the place down, but the excited bark when closing on his rabbit, just a thought so what do you lads and lasses think?

got rid of a good lurcher over yapping whilst chasing a fox,alot of people might keep a yapping lurcher but they are just not my cup of tea

I got one here that does john TARA , lamping rabbits she's silent. its when shes flushing hares , or when bushing rabbits, in the day.

 

as you say some lads could not accept a dog doing it. its a little anoying but i accepet it .

No Dotty it's just crack I had today in the shop with a lad, but Like I said if I had a dog doing the job or a young dog that showed good potential, I would turn a blind eye now

iv found that its somtimes lads with little expieriance slipping young dogs on daft slips that can cause it........i really cant say if i'd keep a dog that gives tounge.....i run for plesure these days so its probably not so important to me........

The title of this topic could be somethin' totally different!! I'm new to owning lurchers but I don't think I'd get rid of a dog that lets out the odd yelp, but there are ways of actually stoppin it from an over excited dog, saw it on the dog whisperer, the man is a bit weird but he knows his stuff,

ive got a whippet x collie,greyhound, she's about 12 month old now ive got her lamping and every now and then not on every run she will give one or two yips while chasing the rabbit,it bothers me a little but she's only young and there is potential for her to be a good all round little bitch, the thing that annoys me most is she has a tendancy to hunt a bit if she misses the rabbit,she's really keen.

haha them cold dark nites

I am afraid i cant tolerrate consistent yipping the odd yip in woodland i can now live with.I would never breed or buy a pup out of a consistant yapper as i found out once that it can be inherited and this was out of a very well known strain of so called norfolk lurchers that were about in the early 80s although some of these went into the make up of some of the best coursing dogs around.atb dell

i knew a dog pre ban ,that was worked loose ,he was an exceptinal deer dog ,you could leave the lamp of untill you heard him start to open up ,that was when he found his prey and was on it ,as soon as the lamp was on he would stop yaping ,the dog made the owner a lot of money ,so opening up has its uses .
