iceman001979 1,316 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Most dogs will leave things that are dead she just getting wiser that the rabbit is dead and wants nothing till do with it when the young they dont really know the difference between dead and alive. 1 Quote Link to post

Mick C. 229 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Take the dog out on its own.Sounds like theres far to much going on. Give her a chance to please you.Shes probebly quite a sensetive dog. I like the look and sound of her. Praise and encouragement should do the rest. Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,315 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 You run a pack on the lamp??? Quote Link to post
all.rounder 3 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 years ago me and my mate had 2 bitches out of the same litter and when we slipped the 2 of them together if one lifted the rabbit the other one would walk back with each other.their was no tug of war over the kill.

runningdogloopy 0 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 She is motivated by sight and something that doesnt move and is no challenge will not be of any interest to her now. It may of been when she was younger but now she has experienced the actual chase why should she be bothered about something that is dead and no challenge to her. I would advise that you take her out on her own so she can have the chase and the kill, if you keep taking her out in a pack if she doesnt manage to get a kill she may decide not to bother chasing aswell. Hope this makes sense to you Quote Link to post
