I must admit my dogs don't catch many Rabbits. For one they are upper medium speed and not real race hourses, also in my part of the north east it is very thick, but this morning I ran my 1 1/2 year old male Marky with my bitch Freckles. They ran the rabbit hard for 40 minutes I was on top of a ravine and looking down at the dogs, next thing I know the rabbit ran by me, it tried to squat and before you know it the dogs were on him. I was only ten feet away. Thats one for the dogs...LOL

nice job !

Nice. The only rabbits my hounds have caught we're covered in ticks and almost dead...

Nice!!

I love Spring running!! Nice one

We ran one about a hundred yards a couple weeks ago. Four or five dogs in the race. Track broke down and we figured he went to ground. My year-old-pup came out carrying it. Not sure who caught it, but he took possession.

I also had this happen this last winter. I'm of the belief ,that it doesn't necessarily take a high flier to catch a rabbit. I feel a medium - medium fast dog /pack , that can lock down on a track and keep good and steady pressure on one ,may catch their fair share . This simply just wears him out. When he tries to squat , he locks up and gets caught.
That's how mine caught this one I mentioned. He was stiff as a board.

deerhost i'm not sure but i thought it was illegal to run dogs in ny state after April 15th (?)

Its a hunting club here in NY. It has a fenced dog training area. It hasn't been kept up much except for me mending the fence every once in a while. But it is still an enclosure and is legal to run in...........DH

ok. wish i had a club nearby to run. i'm done till fall. good luck to ya.

Andre, that is awesome!!!!!

TO ME ITS NOT THE SPEED THAT CATCHS GAME BUT STAYING AFTER IT IS WHAT CATCHS GAME

nice job

Vice nice Andre
