For what it's worth, I run the older dogs only on the straight, a nice looong straight. And they run alone. That way you can run the lure just for them. We just ran Imp, who is almost 14 last weekend before the weather came in. She ran about 1/2 the track and then she was slow enough to sorta fall on the squawker. With a BIIIIIG happy grin on her face. Then she slipped her muzzle and got a death grip on the lure.... It made her month! Just keep the lure out in front of them and have plenty of run out....slow the lure as they slow. Ta Carol -- Creative Clutter is Better Than Idle Neatness! ------------------------ Yahoo!
