Guest greengrass123 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Took my dogs out for a walk today, my saluki whippet pushed a rabbit out of a cornfield 10 yards in front of me, had my lurcher pup with me, and she took off after it, had about a 40 yard run and got to within a foot of catching before it made cover surprised me as its the first rabbit shes seen, considering shes a week short of five months not a bad effort. Now i would never dream of entering a dog at that tender age. Whats the youngest youve ever known a dog to make its first kill , honest replies please. Quote Link to post
