theres been a few decent articles in the countrymans weekly not that long ago about bringing two pups on together, might be worth seeing if you can trace a copy of a mate or summin, get the impresion you have to train them sepparately a fair bit in the beggining else they dont know who they are if you know what i mean, think it probably comes down to time and effort, best of luck if you choose to take it on..

Thanks all for the great advice, think I'm gonna shoot them on the coarse for a while, the dangers make me think that it's only a matter of time till I learn the hard way, he has hit a bunker on there before, fortunately he was just bruesed but seeing how that can turn out definately puts me off.. stick to fields I think, thanks again.

Just got in from the golf coarse, saw about 50 rabbits most of them skipping away in to the darkness, had about 3 decent runs, no pick ups, don't know the place well enough to get up on them majour stelthily but always hope for some, but most times come up short... Need to sort this out or the dogs just gonna stop running for me.. Is it just me n my dog?

just got in from lamping, ive had this happen quite a few time s and i'm interested in whats causing it, when we get in my dog tries to settle then he just gets up runs round the room again then settles then does it again as if he is posessed, think he is slightly in pain, he does this over n over , i know he was in a few nettles earlier, any ideas folks? remedy?

Was in your position about three months ago, started re training him with a normal dummy n then a rabbit skin one, day n night about 5 times a day ish n last Thursday took him out for the first real time on the lamp, had about 4 runs n on the 5 th he caught one and retrieved it back, I was amazed, also had some advise of a chap on here not to go fetch it off him if he don't want to bring it in, walk off calling him in n he will either bring it on or leave it, I figure that he will lern to bring it on or looze it. Also got a DVD called perdys progress by dave sleight, very good DVD for seeing w

So I've been striving to get my dogs retrieve right for the past few months, had some problems in the beggining also had problems with him at home when I'm at work, I especialy had a few isues this week, so I thought I'm gonna get a new lamp go and see my permisions and start lamping ( after all that was the reason I got a dog) the lamp arrived today so out I have been, So got to my permisions, got the dog out n entered my first field, result 3 rabbits nicely out in the field so lamp off n creep a bit closer, a nice run but no luck, saw 2 more at the edge in a bit of scrub, missed this on

cheers chaps, gonna keep plugging away, he's a smart dog so hopeing its gonna all come good, maybe in a couple of days he might be more willing, he may have been a little hyped up after the ferreting, cant fault him with regard to the ferreting, very obedient etc, strange how the time has passed, cant quite bellieve he's 14 months, should have had this sorted months ago, thanks to this forum n all you lads on here i am further ahead than i would have been without the advise, here's hopeing he will be retrieveing grand soon.. Thanks chaps, Dan

I posted a couple of months back and got some great advise about getting my dog to retrieve rabbits, well i've gone from dummy to rabbit skin dummy out with the lamp with the rabit skin dummy its worked super well, so today i've been ferreting with him and am now trying to get him to retrieve a dead one that i throw for him, he brings it back ish more or less dangling it by its skin ragging it a bit but doesnt give it to hand like he does with the rabbit skin one drops it at about 1 meter, hopeing its not a bad start? am i going about this the right way? Thanks in advance, Dan (he's 14 months
