£150 Quid Dog

[GIBB0 50]

I seen a add on facebook a little over a week ago a lurcher being sold as a single handed dog. the dog I have at the miniute is lame and frequently injured. so I went to have a look at this dog and ended up buying it on face value alone. I was a bit held back at first selling a single handed dog this close to the start of the season but for 150 I thought I would take the chance and headed home with her. I was quite eager to get her out for a few runs on the lamp and with me being a glass half empty type person I didn't expect much. I took her out local for a few runs and in all fairness she does her job to an acceptable standard the only pisser is she whines under her breathe on a course. (not on rabbits ) not loud at all but just a dull moan really puts a damper on things a tad pissed off about but I only have myself to blame. once they start its hard to stop shame because she is a half decent dog. I might try a bark collar on her but I don't no if it would work because its not a yap or opening up its a dull cry any views?? cheers lads

i would not do the bark collar for one simple reason if the dogs running a rabbit and whimpers then gets a shock it may think it because it s running the rabbit and stop running them all together

Maybe just excitement if she hadn't been run in a while. I would get her a few more easy catches and see if she calms down a bit.

she don't do it on rabbits mate. its not to bad and I could probley put up with it but I aint to sure in fairness.

bonding time is irrelivent her recall is spot on I have no issues with that. fireman it wasn't a big rabbit mate she was retrieving a fallow that had been shot and injured. the dog is fully fit or I wouldn't have run her.and no neil I didn't expect the dog to amount to much for 150 but when its a decent dog and has a whine its not the best of situations. she is not lacking in any confidence at all as I said there is no whinge on rabbits just on the bigger stuff. mik feel free to drop your comments in on dogs and fallow I am sure you have a mass of knowledge on the subject.

Sounds a decent enough dog for the cash with any luck will give the we bit of whineing a by after a while good luck with it mate

[GIBB0 50]

the dog would of been a good dog for twice the money I just don't like the odd cry. she don't do it on smaller game. maybe its just me finding a nit to pick shes game enough and puts some game away so its not all bad for 150 notes lol

It sounds to me, it's just nervous tension.

Some dogs are like that, when targeting bigger game.
