    I don't think he was proving any thing just showing that they are capable. You can't rap them up in cotton wool. Wouldn't want to see my dog laid up but he will run over any thing. Working rough ground makes a dog steadier and more sensible. My dog excels in hard conditions.

    I personally don't consider a 24/25 inch dog a small dog, I think the frame of the dog matters more in these sizes and most of them are very adequate indeed

     

    I consider a small dog 18/22 with a small frame........if people were to run roe and fallow on a regular basis with these type of animals the first question in my head would be "why?"

    i like all dogs of all flavours but my favourite is the bigger dog 27+ I just like watching a big dog work, speed turning just the pure effort of them, but I've also seen a 19" beddy wip take fallow and regular as you like. Reason is because it can. But still rather the bigger type Lurcher, once has hold it's in the bag. If only we could still do this.

    once a big lurcher has got hold it dont mean its in the bag. imo with large deer it aint in the bag until its dead, seen deer get pulled over and still manage to get up and go. unless the dogs got a decent grip/bite they cant always hold them. they dont get them all.
    yeah,reading back what I wrote your right.

    Is anybody capable of breaking their necks? Anything upto fallow doe's ?

    i once had a pup grab a chinese by the arse, didn't know how to finish the job as she was only about 10 months and put the deer up by accident. by the time i got there the poor critter was pretty shredded and i didnt even have a pocket knife on me. by straddling the body with my whole weight on it and twisting its neck (using the end of the muzzle to get leverage) i managed to dislocate it, just by twisting an inch at a time then resetting my grip and another inch and so on. took several minutes and had to twist virtually a complete revolution and it was really difficult and all in all a very unpleasant experience. i would never want to do it again, and i dont believe there are many men strong enough to do that with bigger deer, especially if they still had some fight left in them.

    not a good way to do it at all! Grad the chin pull back and push where the head meets the neck and pop it will go not always easy but never failed.

    youre right, it wasnt a good way to do it!!!! never walked out without a pocket knife since that day ;)

    i was trying to be funny but it must have been hard work and slow for the deer, ATB.

    I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I would be very interested to know what you mean by " regular" matey?..........a full grown Fallow doe is some machine in full flight never mind a buck especially in the daytime.........on a 50+ acre field in the daytime you will soon see how capable a fallow is of running..........so I am told.
    the dog is still alive and a certain member of here has seen it go many time so maybe he will tell us what he knows? Like the time the Weddy wip has killed when his bull x has failed.
