baw 4,360 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 All joking aside, it'll be interesting to see how jdogs dog he rescued turns, bends and slows down with his tail docked. They use their tail a lot in running. Quote Link to post

Aye, should be interesting i once had a russell that lost a back leg to a train. after a while he was just as fast as he was before, so they can adapt. But a tail does far more than wag!

low plains drifter 11,118 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 why is it necassary to turn? why cant they keep going straight and find another 1 it would save time. Fences and that brings another question........is it essential for a dog to jump....... can you see where were going with this That reminds me any updates on whether a kangaroo is fast or not,and I'm not talking about the ones that are still trying to gnaw their way through old rolf's rope Quote Link to post

skycat 6,174 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Not necessarily: had a couple of really long backed curs who could turn on their own length at top speed: I'd say great flexibility is the key to tight turning, and having a wide enough chest to allow the front legs to stabilize the front end correctly when turning: never saw a very narrow chested dog able to turn well.

low plains drifter 11,118 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Seen both long and short coupled dogs tying them in knots,but I do like the style of a fast short coupled little coursing bitch with a tight running style Quote Link to post
