YAPPERS

[poacher3161 1,766]

In all the years i have had lurchers[37] i have only had the missfortune to have one out and out yapper the dog was out of a well known norfolk lurcher type to a 3quarter grey saluki.Wat other hybreds have people come across that were yappers.

ive seen two yappers both were pointer greyhounds one yaps on everyone she runs the other one my mate owns he sometimes yaps on the first one of the night,other than that hes an exellent dog

[klashnekoff 3]

One of mine only yaps when game gets nere to cover

touch wood have never had a yapper yet, seen a few with terrier blood in them. But i find if you start them too early or run them doulbed up this will increse them to yap.

Personaly i think its a load of bollox you can turn a dog into a yapper by starting it early the dogs got to have it in it from the start.Most yappers are types of lurchers that are run on quarry that they havent got a preyer of catching

each to their own bud, but if you start a dog early then the possibility is they wont catch their choosen quarry

I disagree Dell, I think a dog which is expected to hunt to soon has a strong chance of being a yapper, the excitement gets to it or on the other hand is over matched and the yap comes from frustration... I think that Yapping isn't from breeding I think its the nature of the dog, maybe of an excitable nature, or has been brought on too soon or overmatched...

My old half cross (bull) bitch was a 'yipper', when she was first started. Not an out an out 'yapper', just little 'yips' but it did have me a little worried back then. But the more she caught, as her confidence grew she stopped and settled down to become the best dog i've owned. Thats her pic on my avatar.

 

I do belive with her, it was a mix of excitement and a little flustration, being young, keen and to be honest, not that fast!

I hope that anyone reading this will take it on board when starting a pup, they 'may' start out with a yip but confidence and catches usually sort 'em out.

 

That said but if it was habitual, then i'm afraid to say any dog wouldn't be long in my kennel. They may suit some and fair play if they do but for me and where I tread, it's a no no!

I dissgree, Mine yaps occasionly when game gets nere to cover, and yes its got terrier blood in it. However ive seen it in a few other dogs that have been worked far far to early , i belelive starting a pup to early will ruin the dog, once a yapper always a yapper.

The only out and out yapper i owned was bred out of a bitch that yapped unbeknown and 4 more of his littermates turned into yappers.

agree with you bud, always give a dog a chance, seen alot of dogs passed on for the reason and known to the other person, but given the chance and sucess of catches to build on confidence, some and only some have become a good dog

[rickyspringer 15]

think this is a great lil' thread and would love more opinions on if people think it follows on? Or is a learnt habit?

 

I know springer men don't believe in breeding dogs which give tongue, and they say field trials are the best way of testing a dog, but i know of a OFTW which open up if left to go hot, the dog in question needs numerous days of beating just to settle him for a trial...

 

more responses will be great.

Great lil' thread Dell
