BRICKTOP 126 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 If the dog wants it bad enough it will find a way over ,under or through in pursuit of game .yes it can be a game dog if something wants to bite it back , but in a chase sounds if it lacks prey drive or something's a miss with it ?

bryson 562 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 it does sound like a lack of drive tbf i had a whip x grey he was an ok jumper not the best but always tryed he ripped himself quite bad on the chest one night going over the barbed wire had nearly 6 weeks off with it but after 4 weeks i started him jumping again and his cofidence grew first night back on the lamp tryed to jump double strand barbed wire and got hung up no injurys but knocked his confidece the next few times on the lamp if the quarry got through a fence he would bounce off the fence then run up and down the fence squealing in frustration to get through but was scared to jump it only took 3 weeks to get him jumping again and he was fine after that what im trying to get at is although the dog lost his confidence in jumping for a while he would never pull up at the fence and was always searching for a way through so for this so called dog to just pull up seems lacking somewhere Quote Link to post
mhopton 807 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Very interesting this post is and a very good read. Every man to his own' but going through a headge and over walls is all well and good through the day my little blade don't and won't jump wire fences every thing else ok but nights out lamping the last thing I want him doing is chasing a rabbit which ever way into the next feild possibley 2 felids chasing all the other quarry away . I've learnt him to come straight back if it goes through the headge as its pointless risking your dog for 1 rabbit or your dog its self for whatever it's chasing when the possibility of getting 5 when you enter that feild ready to lamp. So is the dog using it's brain and you don't see that it's clever enough to Relise there a fare better opertunetys for more if it doesn't barge into the next feild and same could be said for day time aswell I'd let it line it if it's as good as you say and never mind your mates they could see the potential off the pups and be worried that the pups will be better than there believe ME it happens ATB mark 1 Quote Link to post

Mixedgrill 704 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 i wouldn't breed from anything i had any doubts aboutI Wouldn't either chum but the dog is very game you have to see him go, if I breed from this dog it's not as if I'm selling the pups I'll give them away to good working homes can't be bothered with selling dogs for money Guy int pub said if you ain't selling pups, and you are happy to use the dog and your conscience will be clear doing so, then go for it. Wont be us on here doing all the hard work For once the guy down the pub could be right, I like the dog and so would any lurcher man Quote Link to post
