Too fast for lamp, possible or not

[Casso 1,261]

I,ve heard it mentioned a few times on here, can a dog be too fast for the lamp ,or is it a dog that hasn,t yet learned to run clever ,,or do some never learn??

i think the best dog is a fast dog that run's slow if that make's sense

yes makes a lot of sense and to get a dog like that can take some doing,i mean a lot of bull types will give it their all no matter what but as said learn through experience in most cases

its not possible for a dog to be too fast for the lamp then,

to be honest ,blinding speed wouldn,t be at the top of list when it comes to a lamping dog, thanks bud,

some never learn imo,had a dog that would fly at everything top speed but when the quarry turned she turned like an oil tanker and wasn't worth shit to be honest,she was as bad at 3year old as when she started around a year old,as bird said just struggled to get back on terms with the quarry

how often have you been taking the dog out.. Is it getting regular lamp work, and is it having quarry put in front of it on a regular basis?

its not so much the speed, but the turning ability and strike, the dog in my avatar was the fastest lurcher i have ever had, and about the fastest ive seen, yet she could turn like a whippet and strike was second to none. im only talking rabbits and hares here, and i lost this dog back in 2004, so befor the ban.

 

this bitches speed definatly put rabbits in the bag, that other dogs ive seen and had would have missed

think its down to the dog knowing when it has to run flat out and when it knows when doesnt? like on a longer slip if the quarries up and moving the dog might run full pelt to get on terms but then drop it down a gear when it has the situation under control?

 

also could be down to how keen the dog is? i.e if its not been out for a while it will be trying harder?

 

i know what im trying to say but dont know how to put it into words! lol

nothing to do with how often the dog doesnt get out making it keener... My dogs work everyday or at least every other. They are as keen everyday... The more a dog is run the fitter it becomes, hence making its work easier, practise makes perfect pal. And if the dog was at them on a regular basis it would obviously learn these turning skills and gear control......not only going out every so often so that it has more puff...

lol thats what i mean with knowing what i want to say and typing it!

i'll try again, if the dogs not been out for a while, i.e laid up for a week or two is it trying harder to get there quicker and get back on the action?
