Heard and seen pics of whippet taking fallow does

Must be bloody big whippets
not really. Fallow doe, obviously it was a struggle but still took them from time to time. I'm not saying go get a whippet to do it, that would be foolish

 

I love whippets, the skinny, fragile, useless little feckers! No good for feck all Lol

I have to admit to something here now..............i was out last Friday week at 8.a.m,walking the 1st field,we were looking for a bit of banging about in the cover,half way across the field 2 fallow stags of a very decent size broke from cover and took off straight up the field,3 dogs loose,a d/h 1st cross greyhound and 2 saluki/greyhounds 1st x.the stags had a 150 yard start but the field was 3 acres long,now I was thinking this is going to be interesting,my heart was in my mouth,the ground was very soft but the grass was short so I watched.The 3 dogs pulled into the stags with 6 ft behind,all through the field but never got to terms with them to take a hold or try a grab.I thought the dogs would in the end have out run em but these 2 stags were absolutely flying,they hit the bank at full speed in the end of the field and dissapeared into the trees with the 3 dogs right on their butts,6 ft behind only.It was great to watch but i never realised these deer could run so far and so fast.I reckon my 2 dogs are no slow coaches,they can run big rabbits to a standstill at times but these 2 stags were something else.I am not accustomed to seeing deer on a regular basis but these opened my mind to how much ground they can cover at speed.I was so sure I had me knife out as well,lol..am I right in saying deer are not a foregone conclusion even with real fast saluki greyhounds?

could it be that your dogs never really wanted it? Staying 6ft behind for the whole of the run would of got me thinking.

I bet someone will correct you and say buck not stag so thought I'd get there first lol.

just re read this, I'm in no way saying your dogs are shite by the way. But sometimes dogs don't feel it. Or if they've never seen them before could also be the answer

A dog should never back away from a deer as they are their natural prey. He should of run some whippets on it.
