    http://s1314.photobucket.com/user/crorider/media/2013-08-21_18-26-36_zpsf5a6de59.png.html Dog on the left is my best rabbiting dog out of the 3 or mine but you would of thought itd be the worst the way its bred. The dog on the right is quarter beddy whippet. Can't believe my mate sold it, best rabbit dog I've seen on the lamp

    What colours are the others?

    My 10ah will only last a little while with the 100 w bulb in my blitz but it seems to last 10 times longer with the 50 w bulb. Definitely not as bright though and doesnt reach as far. Perfect for rabbits mind

    But how do you know whether it should be started doubled up or on rabbits first without trying either or?
  12. crorider
    So do you double up until you think they're ready?
  13. crorider
    Out of curiosity, what's peoples opinions on the correct way to bring on a coursing dog? (Pre ban) I hear so much conflicting info on the subject. Some people say get them taking rabbits confidently first. Then show them some lamped leverets then double up on lamped hares, day hares until eventually running winter hares on their own. Then I also hear the complete opposite, never show them a rabbit or anything in the lamp and neverdouble tthem up or theyll end up jacking when the time comes to run strong hares. Having heard both ends of the scale from experienced dog men I'm wonderi

    a few early season walked up squatters will boost his confidence, keep letting him get mugged will do him no good. if he will retrieve make a chunk of rubber on a rope up and throw it for him to chase, it will hone his strike and mimick slipping on the lamp. To be honest i havent really given him anything other than squatters or sitters right in the middle of a huge field. Been lamping somewhere thats not really been lamped, my little chihuahua X been killing nearly everything hes been slipped on but rocky overshoots so much that he can never make the ground back up. He takes so long to put

    Well maybe he'll get the hang of it eventually then, i'll keep trying with him either way cos he loves it. theres been 3 or 4 times when hes run perfectly holding back and waiting for the right time to strike but 90% of the time he'll run flat out in a straight line towards the rabbit only to be completely made a mug of when the rabbit turns and he ends up 50 yards away before he manages to turn around. I'd like to think he's only young still but to be honest i really cant see it, has a lot of characteristics of an older dog

    just because dogs are kenneled and not lamped during the off season, doesnt mean there stuck in kennels 24/7 mine are walked morning and night plus get an hour or so free running everyday, but non of this will keep them fit enough for a full nights lamping, that explosive take off, time after time takes it out of a dog thats not physically prepared for it. No i know it doesnt mean that mate, but i know people who it actually does mean that for unfortunately. I've got mates whos kennels are better than some of the flats ive lived in and whos dogs are fed a better diet than i'll ever eat. But

    This is Rocky, apparently hes 1/4 border collie and 3/4 laguna. And apparently hes about 21 months old but judging by the state of his teeth, his incredibly slow learning capabilities and how stiff he is after a night on the lamp i'd say hes more like 4 or 5. One of the worst rabbiting dogs youll ever find lol but hes going nowhere

    All three of my dogs are pets as well as workers and threyll never be locked away in a kennel for days, let alone months. Nothing against people keeping their dogs in pens, solely as workers its just not the way i do things. I got myself an adult 1/4 collie whippet that had been kept as a pet a few months ago and it doesnt look like ill ever make a worker out of him. He's always injured and after about 70 slips has only caught 5 or 6 rabbits. He's seriously fast but overshoots everytime and doesnt seem to have very good brakes or turning ability. Most people would of got shot by now but its n

    Thanks lads, probably just get him on gain 28 then
  20. crorider
    oh right, ill get him on that then i think. Thanks lads/ lasses, much appreciated
  21. crorider
    so theres a gain specifically for pups or do you mean just get the pup on gain 28? Want to do everything perfect with the pup, made some mistakes bringing my first dog on but he's still turned out alright luckily. Expecting real good things from the new dog though
  22. crorider
    Ive had my 2 dogs on minced beef and tripe 50/50 alongside Gain which is 28% protein. Noticed a big difference (mainly in the small dog) in performance when i switched to this from just raw meat and bone but now the seasons over should i lower the protein content to protect the dogs liver? Also my new pup is just under 7 months and 24tts already. I didnt know if Gain was too high in protein for such a young dog so ive currently got him on a 22% working dog biscuit alongside the 50/50 tripe and beef mince mix. i'm feeding him as much as he'll eat once a day. Is there anything im doing w
  23. crorider
    yea i nearly got one instead of my whippet x, glad i never now but cracking little things

    There's a pedigree breeder near me with a few of them that he walks round our local nature reserve park. Wont let them off the lead and when i asked him if he ever knew of anyone that had used them in a lurcher breeding he got the raving hump with me lol! Said, "my dogs are pedigree as if id let anything compromise that" and walked off. Apparently theyre incredibly yappy and not particularly fast anyway
