yorkshirelad2 24 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hi guys just got in from lamping when i was out a big rabbit!! got up about 70 or so yards away the dog was off the slip but just stood there ears pricked up watching it didnt even attempt to run it. I no it was a fair distance away but thought it would be off like sh*t off a stick. An hour or so later another big bunny squatter this time got within 10 yards it bolted dog followed and gave it a good run missed it but seemed to put her all in to it. Has anyone experienced this before is this the first signs of it jacking on me?? Anyone have any ideas. Cheers Quote Link to post
123456 146 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 The dog is choosing its runs, if the dog has had to many runs it hasn't had a chance on it will decide what it has and hasn't got a chance on 1 Quote Link to post

BrianSteven72 369 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 sounds to me that you dog is picking and choseing its rabbits if it doesnt think it has a chance its not going thinks it knows more than you seen this happen a few times before usualy with dogs that are tired or are used to chasing big stuff and cant be bothered with rabbits 1 Quote Link to post

leegreen 2,099 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 If a dog is choosing it's runs, unless it's really knackered it's a jacker. But its only a jacker if you want it to chase something and it won't or it thinks it can't Quote Link to post

But its only a jacker if you want it to chase something and it won't or it thinks it can't my dog is same but with rabbits she will try her hardest and run the beam on everything else though its pissed me off that much i am going to stop taking her,she will pick her runs on them and most times they can be caught.was out with my other dog last night and he is totally mental he gets a lot more catches on the rabbits so i just take him in the future.with hares they dont get in cover like a rabbit so they should not pick there runs imo so she is maybe over classed by them Quote Link to post
