fieldsportsman 107 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 hi all, I like the idea of lamping with dogs as I have already done it with a gun and enjoyed myself. do you thing a terrier could cope with it. Im not looking to bag loads doing it more for fun. My lakelands about 16 inches may be a tad more if this helps. thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trisha 1 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 listen mate a terrier might catch the odd one in the sqaut but they havent got a chance once the rabbit starts running exspecaly on fields, might catch a couple on routh ground if there lucky atb ps get your self a lurcher Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shotgunny 39 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 as the lads said lurchers are the best but i have a jack russel/westie mix and i tried her on the lamp a few nights with good results. If you could try get between the rabbit and its cover as this will make them sit and try hide and give your terrier a chance to get them atb myles Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shotgunny 39 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 just a prime example of why you shouldnt use a terrier was out tonight just curios to see if russel could do it and it was a fail 6 runs no rabbits she did catch one it squeled a bit but then she let it go you really would just be better with a lurcher atb myles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
