Yappers

[DEERMAN 1,020]

Years ago i knew a dog that would run silent on rabbitt an fox always.....when it was put to deer in the open it ran silent...but when it hit cover with the deer it would let out the occasional bark !! Only in heavy cover with deer it done this...nothing else....but it was a great dog for gettin deer out of cover to....to answer original question on the thread...an occasional bark or yip wouldnt bother me as long as it didnt sing like a budgie eveytime it ran...

Prob because it knows its there mate but cant see it and its just infront of him going through cover and excitemment becomes too much

if he was in heavy cover an heard him it was a case of "get ready for it"lol...once it had forced the deer out into the open it would run silent...strange little quirk...literally lost count of the amount of deer this dog dropped....funny thing is it was bought for running rabbitts but once it wed to deer it just couldnt get enough an opened up a whole new world of sport for the owner who had never considered running deer..lol...a good dog though despite the odd bark...

I have also seen a dog like this.....dog was only 23/24".....the deer this dog caught was unreal......,but the same again only in cover,but once the deer broke cover he was silent....always thought this dog to be a quite brainy lurcher,and it was as if he was letting us know the deer was about to break cover..

[gravedigger 87]

Yeah this dog was pretty smart brain wise...but its the only time it ever made a noise lol....

In my opinion,...Lurchers open up for various reasons...

It is easy, to categorise the causes, and keep on quoting the obvious,...but, speaking personally,..over the years,.I have run dogs at a very young age,.hunted them in dense woodland,...let them loose on the lamp,...slipped them after hares, deers, and many other critters, (both wild and domestic), that could be sold for a profit,..and they have never made a murmer...

Corrispondingly,..I have also held them back,..waited patiently, until well grown, kept them out of the brash and forest floor,..made doubly sure that they could run like the wind, twist and turn like snakes,..etc,.etc,..and they have still screamed their fecking lungs out...

 

Facts are,..all things being equal....

 

Some dogs yip,.and some dogs just don't....

to true the bitch i wrote about could of never seen a bunny all summer

& still of yapped i will never know but the feelin i got when it happened

i won't forget & i will always think what if

yeah but you say once is enough even if it was just a yap on a hedgrow what if the dog was chasing and ran whatever to the hedgerow and stumped its toe or something along those lines and you couldnt verify what had caused the yap wud that go straight in the river aswell of so you must go trough sum dogs pal atb

You would know the diffrence from a cry out in pain and you would see the dog limp for a few seconds like we do ya daft c**t. Ony dogs i know that yaps is my border when in cover and its on a scent pal. your just trying to make them feel better. Nothing can take it away that nobody wants a yapper end off.

what river calder pw theres one a couple mile from me ?

[neems 2,406]

My whippet x will yap on long runs,if he's frustrated.

 

He settles down after a few runs,so i just make sure he gets a few easy slips to start with.

 

of a daytime hunting up you can't choose what pops up where,so that can be a problem.

alot of dogs will let of a little hmmm, when they get done on a tight turn, its just that you dont hear it at distance , alot of dogs will do this, but sitting behind somthing yapping like feck i couldnt put up with , theres the odd yip and theres yapping big difference

[Guest edrd]

personally i would not entertain a yapper old molly my pure bedlington yapt on everything her daughter a bedxwhippet was as quit as a mose even when in woods open feilds and being outmatched and she was reared and worked along side her even on the lamp not a sound chaki hit the nail on the head some do it some dont she did yap underground

The Brittany cross yapped on sunday for the first time, only a couple of yaps. She was running a rabbit that bolted along the edge of a wood but instead of into the wood where they normally go it went across the crispy plough. She caught it and brought it back and I didn't notice at first as she didn't limp but she's completely smashed off her dew claw. Hopefully that's all it was and she's not become a yapper.

Its not good that a dog lets a yap ,yelp,bark, or any other noise ,only time it should make any noise is when its marking up no dog should start yapin on field its wrong and just makes quarry feel uncomfortable and neverse. And if youve got permission and use the same dog every time you go out on same land the quarry will get that neverse they wont come far out into field and stay close to the warren. And i know what ya guna come up with what if we are ferreting and not lamping well just keep it as a day time dog. But i like mine to do both thats just me.
