lucky 578 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 if its frowned upon , to double dogs up too run a hare[ preban] whats the story behind that [doubling up ] not round here its not, we run in pairs to get the numbers, usually we have a fast dog to pull the quarry then a big massive dog to back it up. only the big back up dogs are used for stud or to start a line though. doubleing up is no great acheivement is it mate ???

Guest DogFaceKillah Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 and ive known dogs that will kill doubled up, put them on there own and they avnt got the balls or heart to do the job, a dog s only truly tested on its own, doubled up its only half a dog Quote Link to post
celtic hound 2 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 a dog that will kill foxes ain't hard to get,a dog that'll catch foxes is harder to get,a combination of the two was what was required,harder to get.some people seen foxes in big numbers,some did'nt.the one's that did'nt doubled dogs up so each dog got a run.people that went after big numbers doubled up(made sense,twice the chance of catching)i would double up if i wanted numbers.dogs can be tested in many ways,as we know Quote Link to post
