midnight walker 8 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 could be the change of owner as for not taking squaters had a 3/4whippet 1/4bull never took them she would nudge them and get them moving first the dog just might nead a bit more time to gel with you Quote Link to post
swamper 11 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 sounds like its been hurt whilst trying to catch in the past and is reluctant to pic um up now ..is it just stabbing at them? Quote Link to post
