Dogs That Dont Run When See Rabiits

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

My bitch does this to a degree.

 

She has never refused to run but will stalk a sitter that's in the middle of a field, she will stop then trot on, then stalk a bit. Sometimes takes 30 seconds to a minute (feels like half an hour) to get to the rabbit. Then once it's out of its seat she gives 110%.

try trotting down the lamp with the dog in situations like that.. then when you release the slip the dog should hopefully canter down to the squatter instead of stalking.

wat is the reason y they do it tho ?

some are smarter than there owners lol

some times that ole collie x is smarter than the fellow who is holding the slip lead, I think some were down the line the dog has been put to many slips and not been able to catch, so therefore, its now thinking, how long have you had the dog???

Tried that a couple of times mate. Sometimes it works but more often than not she just stops and stalks it from wherever she is.

 

Walking up to the squatter solves it but the dog is quieter and can get closer on her own.

 

It doesn't bother me that much

so would you say a dog picking a run as a major fault or would you rather have a yapper of a beddy x that scares everthing for the next three fields

there is good and bad in every breed, the Saluki x takes the biscuit, but patience is what it takes,

[border lad 1,047]

this is going to put the cat amongst the pidgeons, ((( I have never seen a good Beddy x and yet there is people who talk them up,

they can even do the REDS, ((((( but if you mix the beddy/ with the collie cross, then you have some thing, but I personally have never seen one,

i have seen collie crosses yapping like a good un on rabbits and i would rather have a dog give 100% than bloody picking its runs

my pup is starting to do this i see it as a technique she has chosen to use .. shes trying to predict the outcome off the rabbit before movement ... think if dog goes in hundred miles an hour then misses and hits the hedge ... but she goes in slower and takes it out off seat .. which would you prefer..

 

personally i like it

i know a lad that had a hancock dog that did it. he would run the first couple ok but would then lose interest. he tried all sorts to get it to run, but it just didnt want to know.

It sure is a technique and it certainly is being clever, not a lack of prey drive like some say.

 

However. When you have been stood with the lamp on a squatter in the pouring rain on land you shouldn't be on for 1 minute plus and the dog is still creeping up to it then it gets on your tits! Lol.

 

I tend to walk her up to squatters now and only slip when they have got up.

[keeganrees 196]

haha well get on land you should be

but yeah you are right we would normally walk up to but just taking it easy now after xmas numbers are for next year
