bird 9,982 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 some lurchers (wont) retrieve , all mine have but 1. it was a lurcher x lurcher bitch, a lot of greyhound in the mix, she catch most stuff but just kill it where caught it ,and that was that. Nothing would make bring back to me, yet all my others would. The instincts of a lot running dogs is to just catch/kill the retrieving a (extra ) bonus suppose as long as its catching that's the main thing, better than having a blank .!! 3 Quote Link to post

Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 My dog used to retrieve live to hand but has played up since having faster rabbits. Pain in arse but I'm hoping some perseverance will see him right. Quote Link to post
ginger beard 4,653 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 if he'll retrieve rabbit skin dummys but not alive ones at night,why not try a dead rabbit and see what it does. Quote Link to post

Mick C. 229 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 It does as long as they don't eat um Quote Link to post
Mick C. 229 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Bond up sounds lie he aint quite confident enough with you yet. If hes making half an effort to bring the rabbit home the rest will come with bonding Thatsmy honest opinion Good luck 1 Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 I think the difference is playing ball is fun,so maybe make a game of retrieving a dead rabbit until it clicks Quote Link to post
