[BRAN 0]

I know you shouldn't but going for a lamp I have 2 bitches, one squeals when the other is away. Tempted to take her and give her a go, not a full night's but a few slips to keep her quiet what's the team's thoughts on this?

I've sen plenty of bitches run through their seasons: the real danger time is from 4 to 12 weeks AFTER the season has finished: that's when the body lays down fat and the ligaments/muscles relax prior to whelping: happens in bitches not mated too: phantom pregnancy: quite normal. No hard work during that time and until she loses the fatty tissue round her teats.

Running hard, ie, twisting and turning on running game can result in ruptured muscles, damaged tendons. It's basically the same as working a dog hard when it's not fit. The whole of the body gets soft and loose, which is what it needs to do to a) carry a large litter and actually deliver the pups. Not to mention the fact that the bitch needs to lay down as much fat as possible for when she is laid up with the pups over the first few weeks.

 

Before anyone says that wild animals don't get a lay off from hunting, remember that wild canines such as wolves, wild dogs etc live as a pack and the rest of the pack bring back food for the female with young. Foxes also to a certain extent if it is a small family group, just 2 abults, as the dog fox will bring food to the vixen and cubs.

 

Also don't forget that lurchers are man made animals: no animal ever evolved naturally to run over and over again when it didn't need food. We ask our lurchers to do something unnatural in that respect.

 

I've noticed it particularly when applied to coursing bitches: running hares is a lot harder than catching the odd rabbit on the lamp or going ferreting.

 

Hope this helps.
