Went out for the first time on Friday night with my pup Neala, who is 10 months old. She had 5 slips and caught 4. She only missed 1 as it went over a bank and we weren't fast enough with the lamp. With the first slip, the rabbit stayed in it's seat until we actually nudged it to move and she was straight on it. Retrieves could have been better, but I'll put that down to the excitement. Also got 10 and a long ear with our other older dog. Overall very pleased and looking forward to this season.
