Is she the same when she's by herself?

If she's young and keen a 'war dance' with bunny or an extra swoop round a field 'just to make sure' is what she's trying to do.

It usually settles down, with good specks holding plenty of rabbits on a regular basis.

Mine does exactly the same thing. I think irs down to frustration at missing and I'm hoeing hell quieten down after he's had more work.

ALRIGHT MATE.

DOES THE DOG SETTLE AFTER A KILL.OR DOES IT STILL BOUNCE.

[Ideation 8,216]

Get a place with plenty of rabbits spaces out and have him out, in, out , in, out, in, out , in etc over and again. Get him back on the slip everytime, no matter what and straight onto another rabbits. Pick a good windy, wet night when his nose wont be so much use to him. Penny will soon drop and dog will get it that coming back means another run.

bitch doesnt know its done wrong, it cowers because it knows he is going to be cross, and thats probably why it wont come back. i bet it gets loads of praise when it catches and brings back, and it gets praised when it comes back in the day and that is why it does these two things well. i suggest your mate starts to hold his temper and take the bitch out at night with no quarry or other dogs about and just patiently works on recall in the dark with no distractions. and he'll end up with a dog which comes back and doesnt cower!!!!!
