SMART DOG 340 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Unfit; injured and not entered properly are the most common reasons for a dog pulling up ... A dog I seen a few years back it wouldn't run a hare but would run a rabbit, it wasn't till he got it to the bone man and realised its back was out in 3 places the following season the same bitch killed lots of hares so I would hesitate to call any dog a jacker. And if a dog runs till it can't run anymore would I label that a jacker ? No 10 Quote Link to post
border lad 1,047 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 this word Jackers is commonly used on the Hunting life, why????? first they have bred of rubbish, next the introduction of Lamping dogs,, running and catching at night on bunnies, and others is fine,, but when you come to daylight, totally different ball game, the playing field has become a little more equal, and the Hare, he is a champion athlete, he can put a lot of dogs to shame, hence the word Jacker, same with Roe, they dont bounce of fences so much in Daylight, they can run and jump,, a different dog for daylight, Pace, stamina, and the deadly strike,,, ((( thats all that is required, oh and HEART, 2 Quote Link to post
Guest cookiemonsterandmerlin Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I think there is more dog owner who are jackers in life than dogs if they got a spade on the back of the head like so many do to there so called jackers . The running dog world would be a better place with better dogs I think the percentage of good running dog owners who cares for there dogs well being and willing to put time and effort into training correctly is getting less and less. As Paulus say Jacker on THL is vastly over used ATB Cookie 6 Quote Link to post

iceman001979 1,316 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 A jacker is a dog fully fit runs 10 metres and stops dead.Only the owner knows what his dog can and cant do.If the owner says his dog can run hare for 6,7 mins but pulls up after 4 is it a jacker?????? There is nothing worse then putting all your time into a dog or pup and it pulls up would not wish it on anyone.Yes dogs can have injury's and pull up.People must know that the lucher is an athlete that can get muscle injury's very easy and is hard to pick up by the human eye only.Thats why most men get there dogs check over every so often.Jacking is often used to quickly and really only the owner will know if the dog jacked(if true to himself and dog) when it comes to running there prey what every it is.

banner man 587 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 i think a lot of it is down to the owner and the way its entered from day 1, if a dog runs ontill he is out of wind then he pulls up thats not a jacker in my opinion all dogs have a limit sum can run for 2 min sum for 4 min ect, i would consider a jacker a dog that runs half harted when the hare is in a bad place and when its in open ground he runs great that to me is a jacker a dog should give a 100 per cent when on a hare weather he can run for 2 minutes or 5 minutes 1 Quote Link to post
Guest born to run1083 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 My opinion is as above has said it's the owners 9 times out of ten. Any half decent dog man should no the capabilities of his own mutts and how far they can be pushed every dog has limitations its our job to know where they are. Whos the biggest prick a dog that jacks, or an owner putting a dog in a situation they no it can't handle???? 1 Quote Link to post
