What Do U Desire

PREY DRIVE, I,ve been thinking about this subject a bit more recently, its been mentioned a few times recently, paticularly in the whippet threads about the amount of prey drive in whippets and if its detrimental and undesirable,

however I,ve also read a few comments stating " If the dog isn,t giving 110% it won,t have a place in the kennel "

 

so whats it to be ?

 

do or die or a more measured self preserving type animal

 

atb

 

ps, not just in whippets but any type

depends what you after, the steady type is not much good here as its mainly small pasture you need something to really get up fast and strike, so the do or die merchant fits the land better here and for the type of work i do, if i was a ferreting man then the opposite would apply.

Seen dogs that are pure prey drive, and seen the mess they get into, not nice seing a dog kill itself on barbed wire.or jump 30ft into a dry resevoir outlet to get a rabbit.

 

A keen dog, but one and thinks about it. Thats my choice.

 

Oh and by the way,, BIG thanks for that today mate, seen the pics and the floor looks excellent, one I`m due you mate. Ciders on me ! hahahahahaha,whats next, ? tight rope walking ???lol

One with drive and determination but with the brains to recognise danger no rabbit is worth the death of a dog. YIS KIC

Not sure about that reply mate,

small pasture would probably mean fences, ditches etc so would a do or die type suit

A bit of both. A dog with desire and brains.

i think as long as the dog has the forsight to preserve its self when needed or to drive forward it will do ok. my season rolls around the ferrets so a dog that has the brains to predict its quarry is much better for me they dont need top be bullets after a rabit if they can take it as its exits the warren or steer it into a long net.
