sulurian 3 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 My Wheaton cross will often run or cut across the beam , dont know why though , it obviously suits her as she,s not the quickest when flat out being more of a sprinter. She,s an intelligent bitch so maybe she learnt .. Quote Link to post

dawnraider 2 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 the greyhound bitch i took on earlier in the year has of her own accord taken to running out of the beam,starting from the slip she runs in an arc and appears out of the darkness up the arse of her prey,works for her and she is quite successfull she also has started to cut them off from the hedges or cover and turning them back into open ground,as most good things do it has happend purely by chance.
