bradaz2009 9 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 i would give the dog a few easy kills then work from there even if your not sure because if he takes it out and it only gets one run in a night then that can make it worse if it is still only young it starts off with being to keane Quote Link to post
woodbine 11 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I think, as said earlier you would know if the dog was a yapper.I have only seen one lurcher that was ,it was a whippet x and yapped all the time while it chased a rabbit.I have a bitch myself ,a collie x and she very occasionaly gives a single yap on the first chase of the night.I put this down to excitment and definatly wouldent say she was a yapper.

Wardyuk 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 im sure i have read on this site that you can get a collar then sends a shock everytime the dog yaps??? Has anyone ever heard of this? But then again i wouldnt want the dog thinking its getting a shock everytime it chases a rabbit?? Quote Link to post

adamb20 22 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Doesn't really matter unless it anoys you, which it would me. My oldest dog yapps when chasing through rough and woodland during the day, but never once when running open land or lamping I prefer this though as I know when she is on somthing when she is out of sight and also alerts other dogs if working in a pack, couldn't be doing with it when lamping though.

pegstaff 9 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 cheers for the replys. will tell him not to worry about it. i have also been thinking, it was also when the dog turned and was running towards the lamp. it may of been because the lamp was blinding the dog as it was not a bark by any means just a little cry 2 metres away from us and the hedge. just a thought.

welshnutter69 78 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 my dog used to do it, soon as he cought, he stopped, now he never yapps.... Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 My dog often yaps on his first run, especially if we haven't been out for a while. Once he's caught the first one, he switches to silent running. I wouldn't worry about a dog giving a few little yips like you've described, why is it a problem for you? Maybe you need to stop reading some of the comments on here about yappers and concentrate on your dogs positives. Sometimes this place is like a cartoon version of the hunting game, don't pay much attention to it.. Quote Link to post

Catcher 1 639 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) my [bANNED TEXT] says his lurcher never yaps and took me out for a look when he was out lamping. when the the dog was coursing a rabbit and the rabbit was about to hit the hedge 5meters away from us u heard the dog give a quiet cry. just wondering if u would u class this as yapping or not. Never gave out a quiet cry myself than near to the hedge line. Edited October 28, 2010 by Catcher 1 Quote Link to post
