Hi lads . Am a newby member to this site . Got a beddy x whippet 1st cross bitch : will be 3 in Sep. Catches ok on the lamp . Ferrets ok . Am happy enough with her . She is my only dog . And lives in house . Sleeps on my bed. Thing is I hunt 4 the pot . Never out for big bags . So would much prefer my rabbit Not crunched to a pulp . Hard Mouthed ?? !! . If left with her catch she might retrieve it but only when its dead . Very DEAD. THING is she loves the retrieve game ,balls sticks rabbit skin dummy. she loves a small plastic bottle 1/4 filled with pebbles . she will retrieve all these to hand from cover water house garden or field. even the park with other dogs about all to hand with great enthusiasm . please if there's anyone out there that. thinks they can help . I am willing to learn . it might be use to no that she. self entered at 11 months old on a mixy rabbit she stumbled opon coursed it a very long way from me . I ran the lenght of the field dropped to my knees a few yards away from dog . I started to softly call her to me . she looked me in the eye , rabbit in mouth. then head down and a few more crunches. I kept calling . eventually she left the rabbit and returned to me . I tried to hide my dissatisfaction walked up and collected the rabbit . gave the dog a pat and walked on.
