DOGGINLAD 538 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Its already been said but when your out, i drive more than 400 mile sometimes a night so i run as much as i can i dont want to do all that travelling for just a few runs, plus its about testing a dog, as tomo said if you could have a pup which one would you take? the one whos parents have 100's plus under there belt or just parents who go out and run the odd bit of game then home, i know which one i would be picking... if people only bred off dogs that only done a little bit would you start getting dogs that wouldnt be upto task? yes! not that i would take one to try and find out, you need dogs that get on loads of gear to sort the good from the bad then breed from the good....

artic 595 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Walk walk walk............ I keep to tradition, use my field craft, and pending weather conditions my dogs have some good runs. Using a vehicle for lamping rabbits with a dog is a lazy method, noisy and scares most quarry. Using a vehicle for shooting out of for rabbits, foxe's is productive as you have the comfort of your rifle! Quote Link to post
