Malt 379 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Nice one mate. Mines 9-10 months old, and 21 1/2 inches. He's caught 3 so far, 2 runners when air rifle shooting one night, and coursed & caught the other one. I'm not going to do much with him over the summer, apart from exercise him & maybe have the odd mooch. Quote Link to post
