undisputed 1,664 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 The only ones that dont get injured are the one's that dont get out Quote Link to post
bird 9,970 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 1x collie grey's, they seem quite a tough dog. Most lurchers get a knock, i think the more running dog in the lurcher, the quicker so more chance of get'n hurt. especially in the lamp. Quote Link to post
Tiff 36 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 of all of ours, Kye's staghound male has taken the most quarry (jackrabbit, coon, fox, coyote, rabbit, hooved, feral cats etc, even the odd poxy skunk and opossum when he feels like it and in 4 years he has only been laid up for 1 toe and for one stone cutting the "frog" of one foot. He is out about 250 days/nights a year on some wicked ground both flat and hilly, they take 1-2 nights a week off during the season, and off during much of late spring and early summer. On the other hand his bitch of similar type has been gored by a buck, broke her neck on a doe, broke her tailbone on another ... she is a trainwreck when she runs as she is just so commited. On the fitness note, we won't run them without being fit, so that goes without being said. Quote Link to post

Salopian 5 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 A dog that doesn't try. All dogs that have a high prey drive tend to pick up some sort of injury during their career. Quote Link to post
