She Likes It Rough…..
Especially with a handsome lurcher. But if you’ve reached this post through Google, you’re going to be very disappointed, because I don’t mean that she likes ‘it’ rough. Tilly likes rough games with her doggy pals – and it frightens the daylights out of me if I’m honest.

Oh do we envy your access to that most beautiful place to RUN!!! And this is further evidence of Tilly's 'whippetness'. Crash, chase, catch, crash is whippet heaven.
Congrats on your award!
all the best-
Patience
Nice title :0
Perhaps tilly could replace the rabbit at greyhound races :] For a small fee of course!
looks a great place to have a really good chase - Moll loves being chased too!
What a fab place and what a fab game. I like it rough too, but only with Beanz. Anyone else gets rough with me and I pull out my best "don't push your luck" face.
Jump (of "Jump the dog" fame)used to play like this. As long as the dogs are evenly matched it seems to go fairly smoothly.
Enjoy, Tilly!
The exuberence of youth! Cassidy is much the same as you. The more she's being rolled over and over, the more she comes back for more!

I'm with Patience on the course-envy. If Clara could run on that course even *once* she'd think she'd died and gone to heaven. The great tragedy of her life is that she's only *half* Ridgeback and, thus will never get to "officially" straight or oval race or lure course competitively. She's very competitive and it breaks her heart.
Clara often plays the role of the lure, too, because she's too darn fast, and no one else will play with her if she's the chaser, as she *always* catches them. There's nothing funnier looking than watching a little Beagle/Whippet mix coursing after a Ridgeback mix over twice her size!
Plus, I think it's a sighthound thing. Clara is like Tilly *and* Patience's Whippets and adores both the racing/chasing and the crashing/flipping portion of the game. Most highly prey-driven sighthound sorts I've met are also very big adrenaline junkies, and there is no greater adrenaline rush than running like a maniac while chasing/being chased and getting crashed into and flying through the air.
Tilly is such a beautiful pup, Graham. I'm so glad that Prince sent her your way! It looks like you will never have a dull moment with her at your side!
Ahhh...lurcher play. Know that well. You want to see two lurchers at play. It's scary and other dog walkers are likely to veer off in another direction to avoid us!!
Oh, to be a young pup :o) Enjoy her as I'm sure you do! Prince is probably looking down on her and wondering what all the fuss is about
How sweet does she look?! Junior Dog loves to be chased, preferably by Middle Dog who loses interest half way through. Senior Dog actively encourages this behaviour as he and I tend to have a sedate stroll while the others are frolicking!
