Iv saw a few diff types do it, usually too much graft, unfit or just a shite dog, don’t coursing greyhounds even run cunning after a while? But I’ll let the kennel blind sulkuki owner to tell us best

greyhounds will start waiting behind trying for the kill once mature and coursing rules that’s no good no greyhound I ever seen pick a run they try every time sighthound tend to chase what’s infront mate

So your beloved coursing dogs never trot up towards a long slip an say no thanks an come back or kill off after a quick minute an it thinks it can find an easier one? You wanna go dig holes in garden with a tea spoon or summat to pass your time  
 

a coursing dog that settles in an don’t try en end a course ASAP is using its brain, or it would try harder, just like these herders you keep mentioning, they doing same thing, using there load. Both faults to me but atlesstnom honest an don’t make excuses for one type

mate after a 4 mins course on long ear   dead a winter I havent got there quick enough it’s spotted bambi 500yds away stopped that come for walk I’ll slip 200yds away while they at cover most of time he Will get on them lol  if it has seen it it will try for 5 minutes never mind if it’s in sight  

if I had a dog come bk half way threw a run it be pts the dog wants it head up read the land then pressure if it goes near cover head up work it bk out then pressure winter the fastest dogs have to hold on at times

The down fall in them is when you give them plenty of work they start using their head too much mate is what I've found.

I always thought it was half x herders that were terrible for run picking especially as they aged an slowed up abit it gets worse when they loose there little hedge of speed they think they ain’t going to catch an start thinking to much so start creeping down the beam an start watching stuff disappearing in to the distance or not even running stuff at all 

[mC HULL 14,050]

That’s what I’m on about poxon them that lamp on too close to hedge won’t run it they pick runs clever how they kill sculling 

 

not jackers stopping when chasing comeing bk when right behind stuff sickened and shite

Ps u just don't know what Goes on in the dogs head mate I have two whippet x greyhounds pups now 7 months old I hope they our not tip toers. lay back But only time will tell thanks lads

What I've seen most hunting dogs run smarter with age and experience, it's a good thing to avoid injuries. Reckless dogs don't usually live long but my blue whip/stag was the worst for it when young. Luckily she calmed down, it only took 5 years of near heart attacks from my side, lol.

No mate not out of the same litter and yes I did own them but gave both away for free for starting to use their heads too much . The black bitch didn't use her head the next day after I gifted her to a lad she ran into a stone post and killed herself and the merle is retired early now after breaking a couple of bones in her foot, she was good around the hedges but started pulling up too early when running towards walls.

Mine at 7 has a calmer temp and drive but I must admit I miss the daredevil runs, clearing barb by mm at full speed, somersaulting into trees and trying to nab rabbits going down holes at 40 km's an hour.  lol.
