chartpolski 20,403 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 They aint easy but they can be caught. You need a clever dog for golfys. A dog that can remember the lay out of the place, where the rabbits will be and where they will run to when the light goes on and uses that knowledge to good effect. You still wont get big bags on golfys but it can be bloody good fun. Do you honestly believe that a Lurcher, (or any breed of dog, for that matter), can show that degree of intelligence.... Remembering the lay of the land, where the quarry will be and where it will run to ???? I despair at some of the things that are said on this site at times ! Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post
artic 595 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I have tried golfcourses in the past, I think many have wheather they admit to it or not. I couldn't get on with it, forever walking the course prior to going out in the evening picking up rakes, balls, sand bags ect.... whippet or no whippet they are dangerous to work, the risks are out there all the time. I have shot hundreds of rabbits from golf courses, and high numbers can be achieved in a quick session if your eye is in. If you have a job to do to clear them, then a dog to complete the job would never be an option for me. Quote Link to post

Dogs are a lot more intellegent than a lot of so called dog men think they are. No they cant do algebra but they can certainly suss out where a rabbits going to run if they have seen rabbits run to that same place the last 10 times theyve been there. Maybe you should pay more attention to whats in front of you, even you might learn something too. 1 Quote Link to post

Cheers. i have to agree with CP, even if a dog new the lay of the land, it still has to get behind a rabbit to catch it. it wont sit and wait for the rabbit to run to the same place as the others did. or not??

If your dogs know the lay of the land, where the rabbits are, and where they run to... but still haven't caught them after they have seen them run there at least ten times, perhaps they will never catch them !! LOL !! Cheers. Quote Link to post

Iv nothing to worry about with regards to my dogs catch rate on golf courses or anywhere else. Maybe we should meet up. You run your amazing saluki that you cant find a picture of and put your money where your enormous mouth is and i will run my collie x. 5 runs each on a golf course neither of us have worked before. Ian dont bother mate, the man(?)s a nob with nothing but words. He even struggles to string them together properly. Quote Link to post

dytkos 17,536 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 with Rabs are certainly "alert" on golf courses, there are dangers with bunkers and especially rakes in them but you gotta test your dog Cheers, D. Quote Link to post
