advice needed with young saluki x.

[DogMagic 461]

There are dogs out there that wont look at a rabbit. There sort of "below" them. See a hare though and watch the sparks fly! So keep it on a lead! Lol!

if it was mine i would take it out and give it a right hard chase from the seat if you know what i mean cause the harder they run the harder the mouth

hi mate what i would do if i was you i would keep her off the lamp for a few weeks then take her out with a mate and his dog and dont slip her just let her watch do this a few times even if she is doing back flips hold her on then go out on your own this should get her prey drive back up and wont do any harm plus she is still a young un i wish you all the best with her .troter

i read an article in the countrymans weekly the other week about what different breeds bring to the dogs, collie for wisedom deerhound for size and coat and the saluki for its endurence all have there downsides and for the salukis its once the chase is over they will look for another one. when i go out with my cousins little saluki grey on a good night it with nail 9/10 bunnies at 13months but its always been a nightmare for bringing it back to hand while iv been there. try playing a bit of tug of world with it it helps them to get abit more hard mouthed

Just as little bit of advice from an old man, mate. Don't believe everything you read in CMW; in fact, don't believe ANYTHING you read in CMW !! LOL !!

 

 

Cheers.

thanks for the advice lads.

 

ive calmed down alot now again lol. she really dose test me at times. i she carry on and try the advice ive been given and see what happens.

 

ps, my dad said today she might be the kind of dog that just carnt be bothered with bunnys or the lamp. he recons she is more then likely a day time big ear dog. he is not an amazing dog man but had his fare share as a younger man.
