Vicky Steadman 328 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Lovely looking bitch - in great condition too Not sure she is looking at that bunny with altogether friendly eyes though she's dead meat if she touches my tame bunnies, and she knows that lol! we will see no joke, I can chuck her outside with my rabbits and hens and have a nap for an hour, she wont touch them lol, she's a good girl! wild rabbits are a different story thats what the thl patrick thought I'm sure you know your dog, but just saying - be careful - it doesn't take much to trigger the hunt instinct. If the bunny leaps around in front of her it she may just forget it's meant to be a pet ! I know, but she's damn good, I've seen them scatter and run under her nose, and she just looks at them like "watch where you're going" and goes back to her business lol. sometimes I kick a football around and kick it over the bunnies - they run off and nancy just jumps over them and goes for the ball! quite amazing really 1 Quote Link to post

Vicky Steadman 328 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Who you lure coursing with vicky Sussex longdogs? I will do, just started some training with the Hastings whippet racing club, once she's going a bit straighter after the lure (she treats it like a rabbit- each time it jinks in the grass she goes sideways cos she expects it to change direction lol) and is used to running with a muzzle and other dogs i'll get her to some SLD events hopefully Quote Link to post

I defo think there's some collie, she has a longish coat in places and feathering on her tail and bum, and she has an interest in herding lol. the girl described the dam to me and it sounded very whippety and she said the dad was bigger and looked like "one of those racing dogs" so I assumed she meant greyhound. maybe he was a whip/bull/grey or something?
