Ever Owned A Yapper

[swg dave 334]

A lurcher Yapping, while chasing, have you ever owned, one ?,, i had a bedlington whippet

that started yapping out on the lamp, and i kept him up until he was 16 months old hoping

the yapping would stop, but it got worse. he was not entered to early, and he was trained to a very high standard. I ended up giving him up as a pet, and to say i was upset is an understatement, it broke my heart, but i needed a quiet dog because a dog yapping at night

really travels, and this dog could yap, just wondered,, have you ever owned a yapper and if so did the yapping stop...........

Had one when I was 16 - beddy/whipp x greyhound....it was 9 months old when I bought it....first and only time I haven't had them from 8 week old pups and first and only time I have rehomed a running dog....more then 30 years ago now...

I bet a lot of dogs that yap do it out of frustration ? Unfit, entered too young , too much too young ? Long hard slips ? .....loads of threads on here in past , and also if there is terrier in the mix surely that increases the risk of a yap ?

The first time out, he yapped on the lamp, and i can honestly say in my mind and heart i just knew

that he would be a yapper, but i kept telling myself this will stop, but really knowing, and my gut feeling telling me different.

Its hard to come to terms when something like this happens, especially what with all the hard work that we put

into our growing pups,hoping and wanting them to mature in to that special hunter, provider, and companion

that provide us with up to a decade of pure pleasure of watching them work, and in many cases, many a good rabbit

pie lol. As stated above, i just could not have a dog yapping, as this dog was going to be used on the lamp, i did not

want every rabbit in the adjacent fields to be alerted of my presence, and out of respect i also didn,t need any farmers

stiring from their slumber from the sound of a yapper..

How old was he when you lamped him the first time ?

never owned one in 40 years rear mine from pups 6 week old got to be the way there entered as i have been out with all sorts of crosses that have yapped and all were bought in dogs and not reared by the owners but as they say blame the dog not the owner to many people want the dog to do it to young and break the dog hard slips rabbits its never going to get on terms with shame but true so crack on blaming the dog

Good time of year to buy a yapper. Plenty around. " dog for sale 9, 10, or 12 months old. Just havnt the time. Newjob. Wife. Landlord" and on and on and on. Buyers beware.

and i thought you were living in sin

[Sirius 1,391]

Yes, I am sure it's just one of those things,it's in them or it isn't. No doubt can be made worse by incorrect entering, but if its there it's there. Gutting to find out after 10-11 months of raising and training that is a yapper, then you have to decide IF you can live with it. I can't.

How old was he when you lamped him the first time ?

he was 11 and a half months, on two runs that were fit for him, as soon as they put in a turn he started bellowing.

and he was more than ready.

I,v never had one so i dont know weather it could be cured, if i did have one and the dog did every thing else well i,d want to keep it, i,d find it some other work to do for a while, i,d proberbly try ratting with it [cant see it yapping on the rats] then try re-entering it on rabbits at a later date, i wouldnt give up on a good dog just because it yapped, buster.
