Dave C 63 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Depends if you are botherd about her running in or not. If you are using her to bush rabbits for a whippet it dosnt really matter, so if she gets in the rabbit pen all hell could break loose Get her some dead rabbits to retreive so she gets used to the smell, then take her somewhere where there is a few about and she will hunt them no prob. I use mine with my lurcher, but on shoot days when the whistle comes out she will not run in. It all depends what you want from her. Quote Link to post
