Yapping

[*The*Field*Marshall* 674]

 

For me, to keep a "yapper" I would have to really, really like the dog! But could also depend on where your running it, how much ground you have, have you another dog to take out when you don't want to be embarrassed

 

But lets be honest, you wouldn't have it for two minutes if you didn't have permission!!

but if its only on occasion why wouldn't you? or would you? like ideation said theres a yapper then frustration every now and then

 

Absolutely, don't get me wrong, big difference in a dog that yaps with every stride it takes and a dog that "opens up" out of frustration, I owned a dog that had the latter of the two, entered too young, but best dog I've owned to date though. . No big deal, just don't give them unreasonable runs. . and certainly wouldn't have any issues breeding from one as such, dogs that "open up" are often not to blame. . I'm sure all has already been said.

Daytime on permission on legal stuff but I wouldn't take a yapper lamping or coursing but I never had one lol touch wood give it a chance or my by leave it off game for a month or two you not running it with a nother dog are you seen a few yapp in feer or frustration with a more experience dog

yes my first lurcher was a yapper she had a bit of bedlinton terrier in her. could be from that she was 5 years old when i got her still a good dog had loads of rabbits with her just kept away from the farms when lamping or she could start the sheep dogs for miles away off. no problem in the day

Can't handle yipping yappers!

 

Would make u cry first time you hear your pride and joy you have paid good money for and spend hundreds of hours working with over summer starting to yap!

ile second that, i had it happen to mine, a 3 quater whippet bedlington

that i wanted for lamping, fecking broke my heart, as above, went to a family as a pet

in the end,trust me this one yapped its head off..

take it youve got a yapper then!

My Beddy x Whippet always ran silent, apart from chasing in a wood, where she would always give a few yips, but not a screamer, didn't stop her catching in woods.

she did this all her hunting life.

Already stated it aboutt 3 pages back you clever c**t. Jumping on shit. Bore of you nob head

The first cross bitch in my avitar would give the odd yip usually on her first run of the day but far more annoying was her habit of settling down to eat any hare she caught out of sight.

Sooner have a yapper that could catch and kill stuff than a silent animal that couldn't catch jack shit. one of the best fox catchers/killers I ever owned gave the occasional yap behind a fox but by fcuk could it knock em over and finish em...that said..same bitch would yap for England behind the bunnies..simple solution..stopped running bunnies. quick question...if you saw the best rabbiter/hare/fox/deer dog in the country run but it gave the occasional yap..would you want to own it??..I fcukin would in a breath..atb NMF

PATRICO.

WHAT YOU ALL ABOUT.

[THLpatrick 555]

Personally if it works it works. If it wants to please ad catches and kills then its worth it. Only thing I couldn't hack was a screamer or a dog that yapped

And didn't give a true run.

Would anyone breed from an out and out yapper ?

most dogs only yapp because theyve been started to early and had no chance of catching a rabbit as they havent matured enough and just got frustrated,so thats down to the owner,i would breed of a yapper in them circumstances but if you brought it on properly and it opened i wouldnt then

I have seen dogs started to Young immature struggling with quarry and they are silent, I have seen dogs get the perfect start everything done to suit the dog and they yap place down.

 

If its in them they will yap

well said haggis very true

[Bosun11 537]

yes ive seen yappers catch plenty.give a young dog confidence catches early on not running it on impossble targets.run it fit. dont run it with a injury.ive seen dogs quiet on rabbits but open up on hares.running woodland heavy cover can bring out the worse in some dogs.say a prayer some dogs yap despite your best efforts and some dont.

Paddy, from the brief conversation we had on the phone yesterday, Darbo's post here sums it all up...

 

She's had/got an injury, it's mid summer and catching is almost impossible here now with all that cover and you were out with a over excited terrier screaming its nuts off, think about it...!

 

Now, either phone me, or call round any morning this week...
