try giving him something easy for while,then it will build his confidence altough some just do it,people and dogs are strange creatures

Usualy caused by starting them to soon or running them on quarry they can't catch !

I've always found it more common in terrier and/or whippet crosses.

bedlingtonx iv normally found it most common in and whippety type lurchers, frustration it is i think get the dog a few easy squatters for a few weeks to build confidence back up then when you think hes ready for decent slips let him have a few, and make sure your not overdoing him make sure hes fit enough for the amount of rabbits your running him on, also the ground the dog is running over can be a big thing

same as that! i have just got a 15 month old saluki whippet which was raised as a pet with no work at all, Ive had him out 5 - 6 times, he has had about ten rabbits so far, but if doubled up on any think he yaps if the other dog gets in front FUSTRATION i think, Not good if your poaching !!!

Whippets are a fast dog to cross in to a lurcher but beware of the yappers as only the rabbit its chasing may be taken home the rest will have heard the dogs yaps 3 fields away and will run to ground.

pick the squatters for your dog then it might get the hang of shorter runs meaning less time to yap.

""good luck"", ill need some my self with mine.

Usually a .22 behind the ear does the trick........ Sounds like he's been worked too hard too young. I've also heard dogs doing it after a good few hard runs as if they might have strained themseves and they know the hare/rabbit has the better of them. But if it takes off on the first rabbit of the day singing flower of Scotland I reckon your stuck with it.

Yeah give it easy, realistic catches so it does not have to bark

you can pick your slips but can neva tell how long there going to go on ! once they start barking its hard to get the out of it . just get it fit then pick your slips to give it a beter chance to build up it confidence

We always say its crying for help, started to young,=2.its probably a little short of speed,=3 you run to often without catching anything, go back to basics, easy slips on rabbits nothing else, and make sure he is fit in himself, take him for good walks, without running him, for a couple of weeks,and then try again, wish you luck.
