Most common injury for dogs whilst coursing & best dog for rabbits for begginer?


Recommended Posts

title says it all really, what is the worst/ most common injury your dogs have gotten whilst hunting? I'm only just getting in to hunting with dogs - been a ferreting man for a long time but as I've been reading this praticular forum my interest has grown dramatically so I want to give it a try. Does anyone find that it is more difficult to obtain permission when asking to use dogs on the land for hunting??

what would you class at the best beginer dog for training, agility, turning, retrieval etc..

 

Thanks in advance guys.

barbwire fences and beddy/whippet or pure whippet or greyxwhippet

 

 

To be honest Rocky, the pure whippets i have seen have been headstrong, independant, fairly tough to train little fuckers.

 

Collie x maybe?

get your self something small, collie/whippet, beddy/whippet something along those lines.

 

get your self a ferret and some nets and go round asking for ferreting permission and just have the small dog to tag along at first. once your on and the land owner see`s he can trust you and you doin the job then its time to start running the dog. well thats the way ide do it.

 

a small dog is more acceptable to some farmers then a big bull x as most farmers dont like lurchers or lurcher lads!

Running into things!

can they be trained to call it off should you think they are gonna go crashing in to something?

 

Not often mate, and usually you don't realise it's going to happen until it's too late.

been told collie x's are fast but a bit dense when it comes to coursing? found that hard to believe for a collie as I keep them myself.

Whoever called a collie x dense. . . . . .well you want to stop listening to any advice they give mate.

 

(p.s coursing is running hares and is illegal).
