Tiercel 6,986 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 It sounds to me as if he has just that little bit extra pace, enough to put the rabbit under pressure and cause the rabbit to make mistakes. Not a bad trait in a dog. TC 4 Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,102 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 As with all things there are individuals that excel and can read a rabbit better than others .Seen a few and its no streak of luck .Matched with the ability to stand off a rabbit as it reaches the hedge and snatch a mistake as well as snatching up squatters and the dog becomes a local legend .Good luck with her mate 1 Quote Link to post

Tiercel 6,986 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Tiercel and fox dropper I think the same, its just hard to judge when its just the one dog vs a rabbit Watch the dog some will catch up with a rabbit and go for the strike straight away others will faingt one way, then when the rabbit turns the dog is there to catch it. It is nothing you can teach the dog has to learn it for it's self, the same as standing off hedges, I had a whippet once that would always get between the rabbit and the hedge, not many escaped.
