That would depend on how good the emergency stop was instilled in to the dog, and how strong the chase instint (sp) is,
all sighthounds will chase - even if they've never been encouraged,
my own lurcher was used for working, i have been able to call her off a chase,
she took off after a red deer last year, with in minuites she was back at my side, the key is to know the dog and get comands or distract before the red mist sets in,
with penny we used a rabbit skin dummy, got her chaseing, retriving and doing some stays.
