If the ground below the snow is soft and its fluffy snow and not frozen you should be ok mate but be sure this is the case if not you could be in real trouble.

If in doubt mate don't bother.no point ruining a good dog for the sake of a run or two hey?

i went out in the snow today and retrived a long ear mate ground was okay

[dimmock20 278]

nice 1 mate are they any easier / harder to catch in the snow?

[Guest Mass_G3nocide]

Alot say it's easier i dont think it makes much difference the hare and dog still risk sliding about...

[LEWIS123 449]

i found that the dog strugeld more because there was only a thin layer on the ground and he was sliding about

when its been snowing a while of course they wont be as hard to catch,but on threshes land give it an hour of snow so the dog dont lose them as easy in threshes but still run as hard,,

FRESH SNOW WTH A DECENT DEPTH & NO HARD FROSTY GROUND UNDERNEATH SHOULD AID YOUR DOG/ BUT IVE SEEN IT HINDER A YOUNG DOG THAT HAD NEVER RAN IN THE SNOW BEFORE. A FEW LAPS AROUND YOUR LOCAL PARK IN THE SNOW WIF UR PUP LOOKING GOOD AINT THE SAME AS A PROPER RACE IM AFRAID.

One good thing about a dusting of snow, you can see your quarry a bit quicker, a bit deeper and you can track a bit; but as rightly said already, its whats under the snow is what you have to worry about. If in doubt, leave your dog in the kennel, knocked up toes aren't worth risking for a quick dabble.
