hi ya buddy

depending on the dog you have i have a jrt/patt and he is very steady but once he has had first blood on bringing the rabbit back he wants to bush then and can be a right pain in the arse lol but he is a cracking dog if you have a steady dog its nice to have a friend go with you dog i am on about vinny is always out with me unless i am on the golf course as he gets bored and digs holes on the greens after the rabbits lol but they do give great company when your out shooting matey

I have some permission on one side of a river bank, its one of the few times I take my lurcher airgunning, it means I can whack the rabbits on the other side of the bank, and send her to fetch them, when out with the shotties I take her because she can put up birds or flush rabbits, and retrieve

Mines a staff and like peeps have already said if your dog is steady then it is a blessing taking them out with ya. Plus if shot quarry manage to get into thick bushes/someone elses land then the dog will fetch it back :laugh:

A steady Staffy? Does such a mythical beast exist? ;-) Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge staff fan, and have a lab x staff which has perhaps the strongest retrieve instinct I've ever seen in a dog, but steady they rarely are! They just have too much enthusiasm!

 

A good steady dog that works well to signals is a great blessing in the field, whereas a dog that is tough to control and tends to hunt ahead too far can be a real pain! Mine has taken to hunting ahead and flushing deer at the moment, which is good fun on a walk, and he never chases them once flushed, but bugger all use when hunting!

Well the BASC gundog judges and the first place trophies seem to think she was steady plus I can have her in the field and if a rabbit bolts, if I have a gun with me she will not chase it, take her out with the lurchers and it's a whole different job to her she'll try and catch anything :laugh:
