poacher3161 1,766 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 One of the reasons i started this thread is that a mate who has a beirdi/border lurcher off hancock and after carefull sensible entering its started opening up i said how do you know the sires not a yapper or the greyhound bitch its out of more unlikely the greyhound is a yapper.

huntingalltheway 2 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 my bull/whip/grey x bed/whip would yap in woodland but i saw that as a blessing for a few reasons 1 i knew roughly where they were and 2 i knew he were ok and not collided with any thing especially in dense woodland. but never yapped in the field.

adamb20 22 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 One of mine only yaps when game gets nere to cover my beddy whipet x colie grey is like this. just got back in from a mooch and she put a hare up ran it for half a field ( never managed to get a turn in as she been a bit off since she came out of heat) and never made a sound. soon as it got into the rough, yapping straight away. did the same with a deer at the begining of the walk. she has never made a sqeek when lamping or running in the open.

tomburras 2,730 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 my dads old dog used to yapp really badly, it used to slow it down because when it ran around not chasing a rabbit without yapping it was twice as fast - it never stopped doing it. he was a collie x greyhound Quote Link to post
poacherman 353 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 a think its just the way the dogs entered. theres no point taken a 4 or 5month old dog out to try and catch quarry because its no chance. you should be out training your dog and maturing it till you think its ready and fast enough to take its qaurry. all the way through training with my lurcher there a worried constant about it opening up. imo a wouldnt have a yapper. you could go in to a park out lamping and maybe get 3 or 4 runs out the one park, if youv got a yapper your getting 1 atb poacherman Quote Link to post

A good sensible answer atb dell I don't think i have read a bigger pile of shite on here.... Dogs doubled up are more likely to yap cos they are communicating to each other HAR HAR HAR that's f*****g brilliant. If yapping is so much part of the hunting instinct why are greyhounds and lurcher in general the most quite of dogs you'll come across? I've had lurchers where I can count in the one hand how often they have barked. Dogs yap doubled up through sheer desperation nothing more nothing less.... To think they are trying to help each other FPMSL, thats f*****g priceless. Quote Link to post
