shes young just keep running the rabbits, she get sick of them keep running into the hedges after a while and at least pick them up. iv never had a dog from my saluki lurchers that wouldnt chase and strike it should be natural but some have better mouths than others.

There is a similar thread on about page 3 or 4 about this same subject, would reccomend you read this mate, i think it would help. It is titled Dogs. Seems to have helped this bloke out, i would try this if i get any problems with my pup in the future. Neil.

thanks for ya help mate and she courses the rabbits gets some mint runs but [bANNED TEXT] she goes down to strike she runs over them then straight back on them she has got one rabbit before she got a sqatter

[mossyh07 64]

Get her out rattin'.. Does wonders for the strike imo..

IMO,starting a pup on rabbits at 8 months is 2 early.If you do decide to continue? .If ,lamping :you could shoot the close/squatters with an air rifle then slip the dog.But, beware the first few unfruitful runs,can ruin a pup and cause it to open up.

liam mate it will come 2 her ,you putting plenting in front of her ,you got 2 think the land we run our dogs is not easy and its hard 2 get a easy rabbit local mate ,well try that place on friday ,hav,ent done it since the begining of the season .don,t worry mate plenty of time for her mate

[baldockbanks courser 598]

to be honest I assumed you ment droppers. 8 month pup could struggle on lamp on clued up rabbits.

its a shame its illeagle to do droppers.

some dogs are slower than others but do learn. it is still only very youngdog give it time.when having a young dog i would bounce a tennis ball across a hard surface. i think it helps with the pups eye mouth co ordination when trying to snatch a hard bounced ball.

[samba 534]

give her time she will soon pickup

[fensaluki 35]

As said mate she is still pleanty young enough.If you have access to a good safe dog that will not run into others slipp her in beside it for a couple.this can soon sharpen them up but be sure its a safe dog the last thing your pup needs is a collision.

Also dont do this to often as the pup can become dependant on running with another dog which coould bring you back to square one but it sure can help sometimes.

A wouldn't run a dog that young and like said above throw a tennis ball for it, a didn't run mine till a year old, let a pup be a pup well that's my opinion.

Also if you do run it it will learn alias of an experienced do, mines spot on but still learning a load off older. Dogs

[swagboy 9]

hold her back for a week or to dont let her run eney thing and when you think she is ready then slip her on a swoter and get a ded rabbit and let her rag it in the pen
