Lurcher wont run!

[Zerky 133]

My friend has a colliexgrey x salukixgrey its a 10 month old bitch quite mature in her ways but wont chase any thing he has drooped bunnies for her in the day and on the lamp. He took her ferreting this morning and bunnies where bolting every where right in front of her but just doesn't wont to chase. Any advise on how to get her running?

keep taking her , keep trying and dont give up - out with other dogs ect - she will catch on , shes still only 10 months - maybe she will turn out better with not been started at 6 months old ect - alot of people start to early these days and expect 100% world beaters , good luck

her prey drive is LOOOWW but thats not the end for the dog!!

take it out with another dog let it see rabbits courght and retrived when its taking more intrest let it run along side the other dog that should get it going!!!!!

 

some dogs take longer than others pal KEEP GOING!!

nothing worse mate i had a whip/grey xgrey/collie had her from 6 weeks never gave up on her she had a bad break on front leg as a pup ,kept the dog until she was 3.5 years after a lot of time and money spent on her she just didn't make the grade , i finally found a good pet home with a retired old lady shes spoilt rotten , but a bad dog costs as much as a good dog to look after.

all that time wasted and money it took me 3.5 years to give up on her who knows when to say there no good some start later than others but im glad shes gone .

shes a baby to early to worry yet , give her a while you wont spoil a dog by taking your time with her that i can promise you .

[poacher2225 2]

just take her with other dogs and keep her on the lead untill she starts pulling or yaping to get in on the run then try her even keep her on the lead when your walking her on her own or get some rabbits to feed her on and dont give her aney other food start with them cooked if she wont eat them raw then try on raw after abit thats how i got a pure sulkie to run
