Northern Rock 512 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I don't have a running dog now, haven't since the ban but all of mine at the time were bred from a greyhound I owned. All retrieved rabbit live to hand but we were not running big numbers and one of the ones I bred went to someone who was. She would retrieve until she got tired when she would give a little nip before retrieving. The greyhound sire retrieved everything live, hares and teeth which in the dark , often where we weren't supposed to be made some interesting situations... The joys of youth. 3 Quote Link to post

Did you sort all the issues out At the moment she is injured, and will be out of the game for a while. . . . .so we shall see. She has not had much chance to go at many rabbit since last season, only been used for tracking / flushing etc. . . . . so a little difficult to tell. She has turned out an excellent bitch on that front, so either way she has a place here. Had one night out this season before she got injured, and just local, but she did retrieve everything she caught. . . . it was just me and her. Fingers crossed she keeps that up when she goes back to work in the new year. Quote Link to post

Ive been lucky and my sal x's have only come out with skin tears at the worste but mine brought up being in woods every day. so she might of turned a corner with retrieve. Bet your over moon with that. To me a dog that cant retrieve isnt much worth having around if you hunt the humble rabbit. 1 Quote Link to post
terryd 8,436 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Bit of precision bruising last night at least it was the right end In fairness he is very good at least on the lamp and doesn't crunch them. This is one of his worser examples Edited November 15, 2015 by terryd 2 Quote Link to post
