artic 595 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thats the risk of running 2 dogs together. Happened to me 3 years back, 2 fractured ribs, dog out for the season. Quote Link to post

That's why I wouldn't run 2 dogs together....costly lesson for you but hopefully you and others reading this will take it onboard. Quote Link to post
dawnraider 2 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 could have been worse mate,think yourself lucky rather than unlucky,you might have lost her for good, Quote Link to post

Paul in North Lincs 15 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 yes snmashy...................can make a real mess when two dogs collide..........especially at full pelt - seen it happen. Better off single slips......you'l also avoid potential possesional related probles to mate. ( like dogs not yeilding up catch...or legging it when they've caught so no one can get a hold of it ) all the best Quote Link to post
sighthound1811 6 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 thanks lads ..but the possessional thing isn't a problem its mother and son running together (the young one is 2y/o) they've never lost contact since the pups were born so they remain really close..to close the other night(ouch) Quote Link to post
