Femka turned to look at me- as I was coming down the yard calling trying to get Zubin to leave that pointed buck alone- and Femkas face was " THAT IS THE SORRIEST BORZOI I EVER SAW IN MY LIFE- LOOK AT HIM- ITS NOT GOING TO RUN IF HE KEEPS DIVING into circles- .." I swear she was rolling her eyes- I started to laugh- Zubin stopped spinning as the buck just backed up slowly in a walk. Finally Zubin came back to me- with the buck still standing in the yard..
To this day- this one buck will enter the yard - walking very very slowly one step at a time. As the dogs watch him go- but without a run- they do not move..
LOL Michelle, well, since the Borzoi's hardly bark, when the herder makes it home, he will probably bark at the deer, then the Borzoi's won't have a deer to chase. They are all going to be looking at him saying, "BIG mouth!"
I don't ever see deer much in the back field because Bailey has a big mouth and they never make it out of the woods and into the clearing.
