pip1968 2,490 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 a mate of mine got a dog passed on to him and he was telling me it sort of creeps around of the beam almost like a cat crawling in on a its prey and got the rabbit but gave the second one a really good run up and down the hedge Quote Link to post
andy97 209 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 my pup does it now and again but i think its only because it carnt see the rabbit mate tbh with other quarry its flat out straight down but rabbits now and again it stalks the beam just untill it sees it then its all out on it Quote Link to post
treecreeper 1,136 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 did it have collie in it? 1 Quote Link to post
mhopton 807 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 The dogs just using it's brains , instead of flat out down the lamp the rabbit turns and gets away , but stalk the lamp and force the rabbit into making the first move the the burst of speed And easy kill !! Best way forward the more energy saved the better the hunt ATB mark 1 Quote Link to post
R.A.W 1,987 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'm not saying it's a fault but when the rabbits are a bit apprehensive and you need a dog that get to them and put them under pressure then it can be frustrating surely. I've seen dogs pressure a rabbit back out into a field that only a few moments ago looked like it was going to just pop into a hedge on it's own accord. 2 Quote Link to post
3175darren 1,100 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 My lad does it sometimes, not often and I love to see it as he tries to guess which way the rabbit will bolt,he does really well with it. Quote Link to post
Allan P 1,149 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Mine does it and I think he's waiting for the rabbit to make a move before he commits himself. Quote Link to post
Allan P 1,149 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 No collie in mine tree creeper Beddie bull grey. Not the type you associate with stalking. Quote Link to post
RossM 8,115 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 My old bitch would stalk down the beam and almost touch the rabbit but wouldn't strike till the rabbit moved, it was a pain in the arse sometimes but when you think about it, the thrill is in the run, why should it differ for them than us? 1 Quote Link to post
mhopton 807 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 It's class even when the chase looks lost, the rabbit sometimes slowes before the headge just for a second then boom a unexpected burst of speed from you're dog and it's made the the kill , truth first 2 , 3 even 4 time I thought pure luck ,but then I noticed he was doing it all the time on headge hugging rabbits I thought to myself this pups got a talent comes back with the rabbit alive to hand then cocks his leg for a piss and pisses all over his front legs I just sat and laughed 2 Quote Link to post
