marshman 7,756 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Alright lads this always leaves me scratching me head have you ever had this happen ? Long story short was having a chat with me cousin he’s got a lovely coursing bitch Romeo x something I can’t mind now . Anyway 1st year she’s doing everything you’d expect of her . Proper cracking bitch she is looks a picture as well and you can’t ask for more of her . Anyway summer comes and he said your thinking she’ll be a better bitch bit more strength bit more experience next season. Then the second season comes around and she doesn’t progress how she should in fact she got worse ! I should add there’s no injury’s to this bitch she’s tret like a princess . She’s checked and I’d even say molly coddled. Untill this week she through the towel in and jacks . A proper jack as well I don’t mean can see it’s quarry going to a hedge and decides it’s to close and stops . I mean stops dead with plenty of room and comes back faster than it was going out . And that’s it downs tools and won’t graft no more ! Now ive seen this happen with terriers as well, brilliant first season then second season seems to be worse . how comes they seem better in the 1st year of work and the second season seem to get worse and even regress ! you’d be happy if they remained the same . Anyway always leaves me wondering Sorry for the long post lads lol thought ? Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 If that's a short sort I'd hate to see a long one lol ... could it be the dog is treated to softly and it's blended into a lazy pet instead of a working dog .... 1 Quote Link to post

Don’t know might be mate but she’s tret well but not tret like a pet if that makes sense . Should treating a dog well make it get worse I don’t know Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 I've seen decent working dogs that have been moved out of the kennel into the house and by the next season they were a bag of shit ... and the only thing that changed was they were treated like pets and not workers ...... 3 Quote Link to post

No I know what you mean mate but this bitch lives outside . She’s looked after well in her 1st year same as 2nd there’s no change in lifestyle, but just couldn’t or wouldn’t do what it did first season . Quote Link to post

green lurchers 16,367 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) It's in the dogs mind as with some of the best bred they have shown you wat they can do but can they be fkd to show you any more maybe there's a man that can get that out of the animal maybe not Edited January 4, 2018 by green lurchers 1 1 Quote Link to post

Maybe time will tell I suppose but bitch looks a picture bouncing in fact . Personally I think she just hasn’t got the minerals and has just decided it’s not for her . 1 Quote Link to post

CRAZYHORSE 2,647 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 If she just came out of season, she could be in a flat spot. A lot of coursing men have to jab their bitches to suppress their season 1 Quote Link to post

They loose form for about 16 weeks if they are not jabbed, so if you’re bitch comes in season twice a year it’s a nightmare 2 Quote Link to post
