running dogs in snow

[stroller 341]

dont see the point in running yah dog in the deep snow as the quarry carnt even run properly so there for it isnt even sport im waiting for the snow to melt which could be a long time but im not gunna go round killing all the local quarry when they dont run decent so therfore i will keep to me ferreting in the snow for now. there will be nowt left if people hammer everything in the snow because its that easy !

A word of warning running dogs on snow covered ground, ensure you know the ground like the back of your hand, snow can hide a multitude of dangers, hidden feeders, dips and gutters, and all sorts of debris, take care you dont injure/kill your lurcher.

 

Well said.

Not to mention the ground below it is like concrete!!

Not worth the risk, for a few poxy rabbits ect, next week when it goes soft and mild and windy, if your dog gets injured, you will be kicking yourself and wont be able to go out when your meant to go out!

Refreshing to have two posters point out the extent to which the quarry is handicapped, and also two others who mention the hidden dangers that a blanket of white stuff can conceal.Some time ago I commented on a You Tube video by "Hare basher" ,he slipped two dogs on a hare in thick snow, I pointed out it was no great feat for a dog to catch in such circumstances and got slagged off as an anti.
