Dogs That Dont Run When See Rabiits

[kanigra 110]

thats your collies for you

I agree! Collie crosses arn't my type for lamping or coursing to much herding,picking runs etc.Although find them great ferreting dogs!

My dog lurcher will stalk a squatter to within a couple of yards and then strike quickly.

My bitch lurcher goes full tilt from the slip and straight at squatters.

The dog catches more than the bitch from the seat.

 

Cheers, D.

seen it with young dogs that have had to meny bad slips where thay aint got much a a chance and in young dogs that are getting to much seen collie crosses fling a race on a long ear then killing the next one it chaces 5minits later also seen a dog that would run a long ear wouldent enter tane a rabbit and that dog had no collie in it a would take out with another dog and just let it watch then start given it one or two chaces but pick the ones the dog aint intrested in at the minite just what i would do everyone has diffrent ways

dogs that run flat oot at squatters usualy learn

mr reddawn i have a little querie here ,............now you say you wont entertain a dog that stalks but here you say DOGS THAT RUN FLAT OOT ON SQUATTERS USUALLY LEARN,.......... this would say to me that you are implying that they slow down on squatters,.................so they are technically stalking............they have learnt that running flat out at squatters dont bag them rabbits .................or they over shoot them................

stalking to me is great as i think its the most natural thing for a predator to do,............its a matter of life or death for alot of animals...............

the stalk is a natural way for them to preserve energy and gives them a better chance..........................at the end of the day i would class a dog that stalks would bag more rabbits than a dog running hell for leather...................using more energy resources .......................

especially on green rabbits that usually sit/squat from not seeing a beam...........

also these steady dogs that do stalk would be alot better over bad terrain such as hills etc.........and when i say stalk im referring to a dog that dont fook about it knows its there and takes precaution in finding and takeing it...................some dogs are great at it and it leaves plenty left in the tank..............

i dont want an argument i just want your opionion on your quote above..........

can i put my 2bobs worth in please you all or most of you are saying its a collie thing not running at a rabbit that is 40yrds down a hedge side standing only 2ft from going in the hedge. to me its the lads lamping thats are at fault not the dog feck me have any of you got any field craft, your going to sicken any dog no mater what breed slipping it on things it has no chance of getting near never mind getting a bend into. you lamp into the field from the hedge side not walk the field lamping the hedge..

 

its field craft you going to catch the rabbits not just to look at them..atb

I had a collie cross that used to pick its rabbits. Didn't bother me cos it was shit hot on hares. Never picked its chases with them, if it saw a hare 1/2 mile away it would go for it lol. I personally think it got bored of rabbits, probably got that vibe from me lol it also stalked rabbits on the lamp, never took one from the seat. Think it enjoyed the chase too much, sporting c**t he was lol.

its not just a collie thing ........i have a collie cross here that runs flat out at what ever quarry i tell it to.....yet i have seen other crosses stand and look and pick there runs

Think it's a dog thing mate, some do some dont. Never had one not chase a hare though. Maybe they know hares don't go down burries, maybe they love them more, maybe dogs are smarter than we give them credit for
