Country Joe 1,411 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Dont know if you started her on the lure when young. I was told by an experienced Whippet racer that you have to start them young. My Beddy X Whippets would not chase the lure, only live. But they had never been taught, unlike my present Whippet, who was on the lure as a pup, not over taxed. and he will chase the lure and live. Quote Link to post
