I hate to break it to you mate. But one day your dog will kill itself. Big, fast, driven dogs that are good…. That’s what happens. We’ve buried three good dogs last three seasons. Also had one retire through injury whereby she smashed a leg, one luckily make it back after collapsing a lung and damaging her diaphragm, and one impale herself through the eye and have partial vision. It’s sadly the nature of the game if you run fast driven dogs on fast game. Sucks but there’s no way to dress it up. 

You are lucky!!! 

Edited to add, sorry mate, I quoted the wrong post!!

Nothing you can do. The crash bang wallop ones put stuff in the bag and pull off spectacular catches but its a gamble. Remember the old bull cross went round corner out of site. Next thing I heard thud thud as he ran flat out down hill through trees. Could tell he was maxed out and stretching to grab it by the sound. Next silence when he went straight over a bank through barb wire. Then an all might thud when he landed follow by a scream. Gave me chills that sound. Found him in heap of wire foot of a bank. He lived to go on for more disasters lol 

I might be wrong here mate, but wasn't your old dog bull/grey x collie/grey?

I think nearly every one of those incidents happened first night of the season. Dogs bouncing and running like idiots. Putting too much in and forgetting the brakes.

You are bang on but I was all ways blamed any thing on the bull part lol. Heart of lion but he was like a 30k terrier. Miss the old sod

The ditches are bad even for sensible dogs as they age and lose their agility.

Ye won’t unfortunately some dogs are just like that very full on you just have to pick the terrain and hope it goes well.

Absolutely. I don't think it can Be managed. Be aware of potential hazards. After my best ever dog suffered fatal injuries I've been relaxed about drive. My current collie X will pick up the odd injury but isn't a hard charger and I can use him everywhere. My whippet is psycho, picks up cut when ferreting and there are only two fields I have access to where I judge he is safe ish to lamp

Mine went same sure vets eyes started flashing pound symbols. But I left him be until he started to suffer and when did he went from ok to not in matter of week so the time came then

On the side of the coin I had beddy whippet very light dog light as feather. Seemed to float all most could work her any where. Caught all her rabbits up against the hedge or in it. One night she didn’t float over a low electric fence which did her leg in unfortunately
