    rather than narrow fronted what about shorter in the front leg,would that enable a dog to turn sharper than say a longer one?

    you will have to forgive my ignorance in the correct terminolgy,i could google all the relevant lingo but cant be arsed so racing greyhounds,built purely for speed have a very even shape,long straight back obviously noticeable but lurchers come in all shapes and sizes,iv seen them long in the front leg(told you lol)and the back has a very prominent slope down from the neck toward the tail,also vice versa,very short in the front leg and the back slopes up from the neck to the tail. so how much would this.......if at all..... affect the dogs working ability,cheers

    lovely little bitch,

    love seeing a dog breaking the hedge certaily can up the catch rate but has its obvious flaws ie chance of injurys,iv picked and chose particular runs over the years for certain dogs ideally knowing whats in the hedge before hand plenty daytime getting out knowing the lay of the land helps but cant knock the dog for wanting them

    yep thats exactly what i was getting at,so it has been known then,cheers

    no it doent count,although id like to have the capability to train a dog to work off slip for me its never going to happen so have to applaud those that mange to do so ,thinking more really about the older days,slip through a hedge put two or three in the bag and away type of thing If you have basic control of your dog when excising off a lead, then working off slip ain't hard to get right. Once you've got it sorted you'll never want to work a dog on a slip again. Once recall is mastered, the hardest part is making sure your speck, conditions and numbers are there to train your dog. If

    i dont either mate sure as many others but this question is more of a was it ever known to be done rather than a lesson in lamping,and i dont mean that to be snotty as it sounds

    iv had young dog in the past that didnt like to give up her catch,had a bite like a croc and as im not into pinching id let her carry it until another was spotted and shed drop it,although many a time she would forget to drop and run the other one with her mouth full
  18. squab
    im with you all the way,its something i wasnt sure id heard of and so was showing circumstance when this may be effective just to add as you say,which i hadnt thought about, this would require dog to be hard mouthed,if this was done regularly in the old days then saleable game would be limited im guessing, cheers
  19. squab
    is this something that was ever done,old days maybe,a dog trained to catch and kill first rabbit only to drop it then run onto another? dont expect it to do this in large numbers not talking about a dog running itself to a stop although dont think many situations would arise where this could be done continualy or you would ever want to. thing is i got plenty spots where i just push through a hedge to drop onto a couple of bunnies feeding out here and there,by the time she lifted one and retrieved it thats it for that spot and we move on,be handy to catch,kill,drop it and move onto anot

    never trained a dog to mark iv always seen it as natural progression as the dog gains experiance of the game
  21. squab

  22. squab
