    My springer is forever chasing foxes but is too slow to catch em afterwards. I'm hoping my beddie whippet will change that when she's older. from my experience a springer will flush anything it comes across, including the farmers cat if it gets caught up in the beating line. lol.

    what i do with my gundogs mate is teach them the hold command. Sit them down and place the ball/dummy in their mouth and repeat hold hold...... etc... and then a release command - i always use 'leave that' but whatever works for you. after a few times and you can see the dog is understanding the command you can just say hold once and then wait 30 seconds and then the release command. when you are sure she knows the hold command say hold as she is coming into you with the retrieve, you should find she will hold it out of habit and you'll have the perfect retrieve, if she drops it place it in

    Thanks! Doesn't look like my pic I attached has come through. Can't find a way of copying pictures over on from my hard drive. Am I just being stupid or is there a particular way of doing it on this website? Thought it would just be a matter of copying over1

    Hello. I'm new to this site and the world of lurchers. Have been a Gundog man up to now but also have a 7 month old beddie whippet for summer mooching with the spaniel. She's had a few rabbits already this winter so have high hopes for her. Hoping she turns out to be a good ferrerting and lamping partner. Was hoping to post a pic of her but can't seem to copy it across from my harddrive for some reason. Anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? Does it have to be less than 500k? Looking forward to speaking to you guys on the forums. ATB. Steve

Posted a pic for you guys to see, like i said she's only 7 months so has a bit more growing to do. Looking forward to speaking to you guys on the forums. ATB. Steve
