Stop in for a cup of coffee

Glad you got your hound back, thankfully we have never had a “runner” but it just sounds like a whole bunch of no fun. There would just be no way to catch one of ours if they didn’t want to be caught. Nothing short of a tranq dart would work. Glad ya got her back.

My first job outta college, I worked with a lady who lived on a farm in middle of Michigan and had some Dalmatians...

When they would get out and run away, they fired up the four wheelers and chased them down... The Dals knew they were sunk when the ATV's were coming out to chase them... But that's what it took to catch them...

Dalmatians are known to be able to reach up to 40 MPH... And they can go 30 miles in a stretch when they are in condition... That's why they ran with the coach and buggies, they needed a dog that could keep up with horses and go for 30 miles without resting and keep the rodents from running across the trails and spooking the horses making them take off with the coach...
