matmorgan 49 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 buying in mate.only toying with the idea at the mo. OK, good cross and a good post cheers.as you know i have the litter sister to your pup/youngster.and in an ideal world i would breed from bess in the future.but although bess is going to make a decent dog i find her lacking in some departments.dont get me wrong im not gonna ship her off to another home or anything.my issue is prey drive.bess runs clever sometimes and pulls up at the hedge to early.i know she is still young but i believe this kind of preydrive to be inborn .in my opinion at least 75% of rabbits caught on the land i hunt are caught when the pressure is on at the hedge.a dog that gives the rabbit that split second to think and a dog that is just gonna catch it death or glory is imho the difference between catching a few rabbits and catching a load of rabbits and controling the pests.i know some of you will say that a dog with such high prey drive is a vets bill waiting to happen.but im willing to take my chances.i have thought about the future be it a good few years down the line trying to breed fire back into bess with pure sighthound but its a gamble.so i will probably do my home work try and see some dogs work who have future litters planned and go from there.if anyone is doing this i would like to hear from you .
