Last night when I went to lock dogs up the birds in my aviary were we're flying round like mad, obviously they don't fly in the dark so I was concerned , I turned a light on in te kennell then they calmed down, I couldn't see if it was one bird chasing another but again in the dark you wouldn't think so? This morning I looked at them and 2 siskins and a mule have got feathers missing above there beaks , looks like mites but I'm sure I wold have noticed it yesterday as I had a good look at them, I'm thinking its maybe damage from flŷing into te mesh? Has anyone had this before?

Very handy if they make a kill out of the beam and don't leave it , you can spot the dog a lot easier, why do people knock it?
-
Thanks for the advice which makes sense Sussex, casso, how often should I get the dog to sit to whistle and cone back to whistle though? Once or twice a day more or less, I've only had her a month and she had one nothing with her last owner, maybe 2 r 3 retrieves a day?

My sprocker bitch is now 6 months old and has started to run on when of the lead, she used to come to the whistle quite well but now hardly does, she has been kept away from quarry but chased a wagtail alround the field behind my house, now she sees a bird and runs like mad after it ! What do you think is best to do with her, keep her on a lead for a bit and try and train her in the garden or chase after her and stop her if I can , or what ?

cantona replied to swg dave's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Are they any good for long slips? On par with striker? When running a dog not side by side for comparison -

So what is the best halogen for big fields then ? I have a striker but I don't think it's good enough for long runs

My pups 5 months old and retrieves tennis ball well , I am thinking of getting a 1/2 pound dummy for her,is there a bet way of introducing it or just throw it for it and call her in wih whistle
-
when you say only 750 meters is that not the longest beam you can get?
-

-

What goes on
-
Thanks makes sense but do you train sit command prior to this with feeding or straight in to the way you described
-
When is it mate
-
. Thanks for reply, yes it is pretty standerd stuff just want to be sure, thanks again
-
Should you train a pup to sit to the whistle straight away or give the command sit then introduce the ŵhistle at a later date, thanks for any replies
-
I am teaching my sprocker pup to recall to its name which it has done well, now I want to add the whistle , bit confused as some books say two pips and some say 4 pieps, which one do I use
-
. Wow a lot of growing potentially then, cheers chevinfox
-
Surely someone's hada sprocker and can remember at about the age it reached its max height, cockers and springers are different so is it in between?
-
Pups settled in well now, getting very confident already, 5 months old and about 14 to the shoulder, what age do they stop growing height wise? About 7 or 8 months?
-
My mates springer bushes everything but when it's a fox you can tell straight away , it yaps and cries and marks them a lot stronger than bunnies, maybe because its round earths with terriers but it certainly is its preferred quarry.

Went and had a look last night and it seemed a bit more confident that I had been told, jumped up me for fuss, i brought it home with me ,daughter has been playing with it and introduced it to my dogs, seems to have more confidence already.
