Dave C 63 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Well my pup Fern was 6 months at the week end and after coming on so well with her training, i thought it was time to get her out up the Dale and let her hunt up a few rabbits, she is good on the blind retrieves so getting her to hunt wasn't a problem. I left the Shotgun at home but took the starter pistol, she has been around gunfire at the Clay ground, but a little more wont hurt. Getting into the cover Flushing a Rabbit She learnt alot in the reedbeds and luckily she found out what she was hunting, i wont be taking her up the dale to often yet as she is still young with plenty of time, but i think its good to get some scent into them and break the retrieveing rutine every now and then.

WELL DONE MATE Thanks for the intrest, she will only be used to shoot over and as its mainly rough shooting Vermin all year round, she has alot of work ahead of her. I know most people would think a Springer would have been the better choice (and they would proberly be right ), but i liked the look of her parents both hard hunting and athletic, so we will have to wait and see. Cheers Dave. Quote Link to post
