Lamoing with a collie??

[FerretMadDee 0]

hi all....

 

needing a bit of helpful (not criticism) advice please

 

i'd love to go lamping and was wondering if anyone near the forest of dean way could show me how its done etc

 

i alos know lamping is done with lurchers mostly but can u do it with collies ??

 

i am looking to buy a lurcher but once i have passed my car test so i can take it to a cycle track near me n giv it a good walk

 

also how much are second hand lamping kits?

[DottyDoo 500]

dont need tae use a cycle to excersize a lurcher

 

yes can use a collie to lamp, wont catch half as much as with a lurcher but will be fun none the less

 

lamping kits vary in price, depending on model. time of year, just dont rush in do a bit of homework on the lamps

cheers 4 tht

 

reason im wanting to use my collie as i dont expect my mother will let me have another dog but he loves loves loves torches and chasing lights and loves playing fetch.... i know there is a LOT to learn him other than that but hes on the right lines in some respects

 

theres a 4 hour cycle track near me but need a car to get to it and the lurcher will need a lot of excercise.

get that collie oot wae a lamp, walk up as close as ye can to the sitting rabbits an try getting him to see them when they run

 

oh an make sure the dog will come back as soon as the bunny escapes,

I'll move this to the "running dogs" section, as it has no connection with ferrets

I've seen collies used for ratting and we used to use one wuth our bobbery pack to bush to the lurchers. Never heard of one being used for lamping, on the right ground I can see them picking up the odd one - as long as you have fun, where's the harm? Whereabouts in the Forest are you? Do you have permission to lamp on?

They can do very well, especially with squatters, obviously they lack straight speed, but have plenty of brains.

sorry may be being blonde here but are squatters sitting rabbits?

Aye, squatters are rabbits that try to hide by crouching low rather than running when you put the lamp on them.
