First cpl of seasons with my bitch [saluki grey collie grey] she was like a bullet up and at anything i slipped her on.

her running style changed by her self after getting too banged up after a night out ,shed strike and throw her self bowling over with the rabbit which was good to watch but scarey,she done this for three seasons constantly getting laid up.Now last cpl seasons the collie has kicked in and shes matured now she boxes and heards her quarry,

she still gets her prize but to be honest not quite as many as when she was a lunatic with prey drive .

to be honest the drive is still there but she seems to control it better.............................steve

It was my ground the dog was run on and i think he didnt do badly. To start with he missed alot due to not getting on them fast enough or going down the wrong side of the beam. I think hes a clever dogs whos learnt his ground well and he came unstuck on unfamiliar fields. Coopers ground is bigger fields and the dog was used to having the time to work them whereas my ground is small fields lots of cover and fences and unless the dog is on them quick the rabbits are gone. To Blue's credit over the course of the night he worked out that what he was used to wasnt working so he changed his tactics and started to catch well at the end.

saw collie crosses doing that had one years ago good bitch but started rating her qaurry gave her away to a less taxing home ,the current collie types i have now dont they run to catch ,more handy for the areas i hunt ,all sorts of dogs start rating the game ,dont mind it in an old dog who has had its day and feched but i l;ike a dog who commits to the game if possible all depends how much he has run two,ive saw all sports of lurchers do it ,not just collie crosses , if you run them on big land and taxing qaurry regulary , saw guys dogs throwing the towel in as there fitness wasnt up to it ,its all about conditioning when young so they believe they can run anything and catch , had dogs after 3 hard seasons starting to get sore and starting to go on the back peddle at times ,so you run them less they soon get livly again etc , all depends how much you run them and how they are bred not just collies

Yeah, it was the first time he'd run using a filter. I bet he will remember it next time, hes a clever one!
