Dogs That Dont Run When See Rabiits

[fay 75]

does any 1 have any problems with this ive noticed my dog wont run a rabbit if its at a certain distance i was out last night and when i got up near enough and it bolted she wasnt running full hearted may b she wasnt in the humor i dont no but i did hear on here about collie traits in some dogs could this b it coming in my dog ?not running cant understand it really some times shes alrite but never if a rabbit is out in the middle of the field she will not run it but when u get a certain distance she will run it she has me baffled and i noticed she runs them hard when shes up close enough to them shes not stupid by the looks of it but what could b the problem her e?

seen a few collie crosses do this.my mate had an hancock lurcher that would not run a rabbit if it was just of the hedge,didnt bother me as my dog would get plenty of slips

Seen this a few times with collies picking there runs, its frustrating will only give it there all when the think they can catch it

I've seen my own bitch pick plenty I think it's being to intelligent and lack of drive ,she won't hurt herself to get a rabbit I think it's the kind of " living for tomorrow attitude " some places I think we'll done thank god she didn't run that then other times it can be so frustrating to think some effort she would of had it.

Haha I was dieing to ask this the other day when I first joined the site but I got some sly comments on my other post so I never did my little bitch is a c**t for this she try's really hard on the hard ones near the edge but when I slip her in the middle of the field she doesn't seem to try as hard and if I slip from a distance and a hair jumps up she won't even run it but if its a rabbit she will its not as if she runs it for a min a soon as it jumps up she stops truth be known I don't go for them and she is only a small whippet cross so I don't expect her to but I'd though she would of had ago if you no what I mean

Usually happens when dogs get sickened has pups.. running them in the day 100/150 yards to get near the rabbit for it to drop in an hole or jump in a hedge.

 

Seen a few kinds of dog do it, saluki x, bull x, beddy x, collie x ... but collie x seems to be most popular
