Just means it has better working blood in it to me,compared to a track dog running through barbed wire to try to catch the uncatchable.

Just because a dog will bust a gut to get to anything it’s slipped on doesn’t mean it can’t run smart.

If a dogs still chasing bunnies that are sat next to there burrows or hedge after a couple of seasons it's not been worked enough

Just knows its limitations.

If a dog does not give 100% on everything you slip it on, how do you or the dog know it's limitations?

Right mate,any dog or older hound done lots of graft will pick its runs,or trot up slowly,its called brains.

I don't lamp or have my dogs on slip leads just ferreting and mooching,so the dog learns his limits by experience.

That's sort of a contradiction.

Ok, let's put it another way, if you send your dog out or set it on, which ever term you prefer and IT chooses not to run, how can you judge it's limitations if has not given 100%?

I don't set them on anything when hunting,they know what to do themselves and are obedient.I'm not interested in pushing them , there hunting bred dogs not racing dogs.Why do you wan't 100% when 80% fills the bag and few injuries.I doubt many people give 100% whatever they do.

Why would I want less? I want 100% from any dog I work, it may not be as good as the next dog but at least I know the dog is doing it's best for me then in return I will do my best for the dog. Sound easy enough for you to follow?

I know I’ve already said it but I’ll ask the question. I know it’s different disciplines but when it was legal to run other stuff in the uk would lads have accepted a dog picking its runs on other stuff? Just interested.
