As you know Shayne you can get this will all bloodlines .Most USA dogs are mad chasers .. In saying that i have found the USA bloodline to be of a different temperaments depending on the bloodline you are breeding from and i dont think its a bad thing but handling those quiet ones from a early age will pay huge benefits in the end as you know ..
Pat C Sabbath has thrown more chasers than most like his father Kc and All they do chase hard ...
I bet that timid one will be able to run .
Maybe once you start getting her around the tracks and seeing other dogs chase a lure maybe will help switch her brain on ...i have one with me now who goes every where with me like a pet because of her bad traits she showed as a pup ...Over excited is just as bad as a timid dog ..both need a lot of work to change their heads around .....good luck

Hi Shayne, I bred and raised Sabbath. He is an awesome dog. Loves to be around people. He was raised by myself, my husband and our 6 children. He LOVES to run! He was very alert and ready to go when he knew it was his time to run. Very competitive racer. He didn't have any quirks, at all. Solid dog.

I have a litter to a Crash bitch that are 13 months old. They are not big pups, but they are savage keen. I have four which I took to a schooling track, never seen a drag hare and only been hunted once as pups. All four were mad for it, no nerves so I ended up giving them a hand slip. All four chassed like mad!! I'm very happy with them. Reports from the other six in the litter are the same.

thanks for the response Keith, the bitch i had in mind is the largest of the three and was the quickest early on in there careers but became abit field shy sounds like were on the money with Pat C Sabbath i guess time will tell.
Do you have questions about breeding theories?
