whip x grey 276 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 pleanty small dogs will take them pre ban,,i think more will be kick ups than anything else if the small dog aint a very quick runner the long slip ,,the small dog has to be on them fast ,,and the terrain has to be kind off on there side,,,plus side the little dogs do kind of stick on them like super clue lol Quote Link to post

Also as he is a small dog people only think he is capable of catching rabbits and it keeps the eye of the antis off me and the dog such is how I like things as there is a hell of a lot of fame hunters lingering about looking for attention Quote Link to post
