Basseting

I still have not been out properly. I need to get the hounds desensitised to sheep. One of the best ways I have been told is to let them loose with a ram. I am all for this but I need a friendly farmer who may help. Help required.

Hi Jai

 

I have had nearly 4 months with my dogs now I thought it best to get to know them a bit more before I went out with

them. The longer you have them I feel they need days out in the field. We have been walking them quite a lot to improve their fitness. The older bitch may scent something but the younger dog I am not sure about. I am in Undy between Newport and Chepstow,

so if you are still up for a day out that would be good.

I am going through the process in getting my two desensitised to sheep, then going to go up to Leadon Vale. In addition if anyone is prepared to take a novice out on a jaunt when my hounds have been done I would be most grateful.
