Dog Won't Chase?

[slipper 116]

Hi all just got back in, had an afternoon with my mate who has just bought a lurcher which is 18 month old and apparently buĺl whippet grey x saluki whippet grey

anyway we took it out with the ferrets just to see what it's like managed to bolt a couple and the dog wasn't interested at all just watched them run off and basically didn't move

I have never seen a dog not want to chase a rabbit before this dog has no injuries that we can see it doesn't look like it's done a lot

what do you think peeps a dud?

if its never seen one and not done anything, it possibly wonders what its meant to do and at a guess is still unsure of what has happened to it.

He should off asked for trial am shore at 18 months old any think small and fury moveing at speed a cross the floor at speed would trigger a lurchers natural instinct

Let the dog settle in if it's very new to ya mate then make up a flirt pole with a rabbit skin or even a whole dead rabbit shouldn't take long to get it interested

not really if Its been brought up with a cat it might need a gee up seen it once about 10 years ago a friend bought a bitch from a pet home at 3years old had lived with cats he got it going made a gooden in the end

Cheers lads that's sort of what we thought Paulus we thought its genuinely not seen anything and just been stuck in a pen or something has put it off big time

as said above bond with it for a week or two and make a flirt pole, gets it interested and fit at the same time

strange question but does it have tatoos in its ears,

[terryd 8,504]

It may be just very well stock trained as in cats etc and if has never worked it needs to know some things get a green light ?

The fact you came home with your ferrets might also suggest this

A dog was never ruined by later entering to my limited knowledge.......
