runforyourlife 361 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 This is the place were my salukix fell when she was just 4 mths old. She went straight over the edge, landing on her side!! Hard onto the rocks, which are most certainly not flat, and pretty jagged. The thud was quite loud to say the least. I turned to my missus and said dont look! I ran around to see her stood up, wet and shaking.....I got her home, and she seemed a little shook up, but not alot wrong with her!! couldnt beleive it, it should have killed her... She is now 3 yrs old, and has never looked back... Reason i have posted this, i have just got hold of these pics... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HALTY LAD 92 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yea, you could have been very unlucky and it could have broken a leg, but to be honest ive seen dogs come off far far far higher cliffs and keep on going at the bottom. But I suppose the running dogs would be at the greatest risk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
