loafer 47 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Id sack the rabbits for a month or two, get it out ratting with the terriers it might just sharpen it up, it can have that effect, and you wouldn't be losing anything. Quote Link to post

terryd 8,412 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I remember my beddy whippet was a bit like that but once she got into the groove she was great so I am sure it will be fine. She lost a lot of rabbits to start as well because she had the lightest grip going 1 Quote Link to post

IshotRogerRabbit 46 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) If it's not already been suggested...maybe you could get her out on the lamp with a more experienced and enthusiastic dog. Keep her on the lead and let the other dog do the 1st half dozen or so and see how she responds. It should hopefully wind her up. Still young'ish though so do give her time. ATE with her.
