dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Ive been told one of my lurchers has too much heart .... is that possible? im not sure, as i wouldnt change it... Hes brainy, and usually biddable enough, but when working/hunting/lamping(rabbits) he is almost insane... proper heart in mouth job... always uses every available scrap of power/brain/speed that is possible, and usually brings home the bacon so to speak!.... A friend calls him 'the gymnast' as hes good at cartwheels, jumping (usually chasing a bunny out of the field we were lamping in lol) and bouncing off stuff....I call him a real tryer, but, i know that he does this for his own ends, he cant help it, after all its a built-in feature, i simply 'let the dog see the rabbit', and he does the rest. But because of his total drive and determination to succeed with every hunt or slip, i have to be very careful where i run him... double fences, roads, quarries/crags, and earths, are often major worries, but (touch wood), he is surviving.. Is there a point at which too much heart becomes sheer recklessness? well, im off out again before day break... happy hunting all DnN Quote Link to post
