jukel123 10,114 Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) It amazes me how a good whippet can kill rabbits and the occasional hare. Bigger ones can take roe and fox with help. Yet, knowing the difference between the real thing and a lure, they still chase the lure with everything they have. I once had a 3/4 greyhound 1/4collie ....my best dog. She looked just like a greyhound and my mate persuaded me to give her a go at a lure on a flapping track. I told him she was too savvy to chase a lure but I gave her a hand slip anyway. She did what I thought she would do, jumped the barrier in order to cut the lure off. Then, when she realised it wasn't a living creature, she lost interest and had a piss. So how come whippets which have been in the field still show as much interest in a lure? Would greyhounds which have coursed still chase a lure? Edited September 25, 2023 by jukel123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
