morton 5,368 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Strange isn't it, but nature, a natural thing, you could get a greyhound, or whippet no training given and would naturally retrieve, live to hand rabbits, but would kill a hare,and leave it on the spot. Also very natural to to kill a fox, windpipe, instant I owned a track bitch that retrieved rabbits from day one,it took me 6 months to get her jumping with ease,the amount of times she pursued to a gate or fence and waited for it to open,she never retrieved an hare and often let them go when they baby wailed. 1 Quote Link to post

paulsmithy83 567 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 i'd say 99% who have had dealings with bring a greyhound up have NOT had them from 9 weeks. a dog conditioned from a pup to use there gears is different from a dog bred and reared to race being pushed to have one flat out gear then brought into a field and expect it to not run as tho its race day. it become instinctive from the slip due to training they have from there trainers in the schooling phase. im still trying to sort a dvd for max soon as i can get it to him i get him to put some of it up. but they are not as robust as lurchers this is there ackiles heel 2 Quote Link to post
