What's your taughts on what could have happened nice flat field no dips or trenches . She was a speedy bitch that was my taught her speed and if she flipped was enough to cause that damage

Very sorry to hear that fella.

 

I don't think it takes much when these dogs are flat out behind something. I bet they hit speeds of 30mph plus, the slightest dip or mis-footing could lead to all sorts of breaks and strains. Necks, backs, hips etc.

 

As someone said not so long back. They are only yours when they are on the slip lead. And it's very true.

 

All the best.

My pals did its virt too only a month or so ago he only let it out of land rover set off driving and seen the dog crawling poor lad was in bits so don't think it takes much to do this injury mate

Dogs can wreck themselves in the stupidest places., Flat field , full speed and a tumble can end a dog.

 

Shame about the dog. It`s all part of working them, but it doesn`t make it any easier.
