would your dog return to you mid course?

[DogFox123 1,379]

Why would any one want to stop there dog mid course

If you slip the dog you should know the land your working

So I can't see any reason anyone would stop there

Dog mid run

 

Well, you might want to try if your dog is coursing towards a train line, main road or perhaps a small pet dog or cat.............it has been known to happen.

 

Thats happened to me before and at the time i wish i could call him off, fortunately he missed the train by about 30 secs

I would love every dog i owned to come back on recall.Lost afew good dogs that followed from open fields into cover daytime.Broken neck.

You can train half collie crosses to stop befor the course gets going properly ,which isnt a bad thing considering what they are generaly used for.But a coursing dog you would have no chance,if you could it wouldnt be worth a carrot! Imagine you was running a match and one of the other side had a whistle !!!

Total nonsense.

Explaine yourself !

No chance it could be handy, a friend of mine has a 8 month old pup which he can stop and it returns straight away but its not killing yet, I wonder if he will get the same result when its nobbled a few I doubt it atb nasher

[stubblebasher 150]

Come on cather 1,whch part of my post do you disagree with ? That you can stop a half cross collie or a coursig dog would be useless ?

i seen a dog being stopped going down the beam at a squatter which the dog had past an it stopped dead an returned scanning the ground an killed it.....an iv seen it doing it more than once

If a dog can be stopped in mid flight, then either 1 the owner is a great trainer of dogs or 2 the dogs heart is not in it in the first place.

The makeup of the dog is a major factor there is no doubting that, I would hazard a guess that the people saying their able to stop their dogs mid flight have collie or some other strong baseline saturated dogs. Give the same men a pure sighthound or a mix of sighthounds and see how they fare, not so well I wouldn't think.

i used to have a whippet bitch i could call off if need be. eg, to far on the airport or train comming.

we wasnt serius hunters, mooching about or bolting a few with the ferret. but she never failed to catch if their was a bunny above ground.

I can tell if theres anything about and what it is by my dogs behaviour. If they walk quickly with their noses to the ground, checking each bush i know its rabbits. If there franticly casting about i know its deer. I also know at that point i have about 10 seconds to get them to me and the leads on otherwise there WILL be a dead dear for me to pretend i know nothing about! Lol! If i shout loud enough AND walk quickly away from the area they DO follow me. Then the leads go on and i get them out of the area. If the deer gets up and runs it gets taken down, simples. I cant stop them once there sighted. If it keeps its head down, which they usually do (AND im on the ball) i always manage to get the leads on in time.

 

If its rabbits i am more likely to encourage them. Theres not many hares where i walk my lot so there easily avoided. Same with foxes, you see um at night but the dogs are on slip then anyway so all i have to do is not let go of the lead.

Stopping a dog walking down the beam is no comparison to stopping a dog mid flight.
