Make sure the dog has seen the rabbit aswell before you slip him I've seen are lads slip there dog and it goes the wrong way because the lad has been to hyped up to see that first catch. Take your time when your out don't go slipping on every rabbit you see the dog has got to want to run and catch it but that dosnt mean you run every one

ye that another good one above , the young dog not seeing the rabbit  at 1st, more so the smaller type lurcher, both my  1xs are quite tall , Bryn  25in  , and Buck 28in  , so they  get on to the rabbits quick . But  us humans are 5ft- 6ft   of the ground  so we see the rabbit better than any dog , i am near 6ft   so could  alot more than me dogs. But i did go out with a  bloke yers ago in the 80s  lamping  couple times, when i was into racing my none ped little whippet . He hold his little bitch in the air  about chest height in his one hand, and the lamp in the other  she was only 20lb 20in    same size as my little  bitch . he pick the rabbit out , let her see it and once he knew she seen it,   let he jump down to run the beam , feck me was she quick  up to that rabbit, and she catch  90% of them. he  had 2 males  brothers at home   that  were 30-31lb that would pile in to foxes , very strong fiery  little dogs, great little dogs none ped racing whippets
