[beddylurcher 70]

hi all. i took my beddy whippet owt for a walk on the lamp last nite with my brother with his air gun. my pup is only 6 1/2 months old to was just taking him to watch. well they was a bunny sat owt about 45 yards away my borther shot it but didnt kill it and it was slowly trying to run off, so i said to my borther wait here and slipped the dog and he ran stright up to it held it in his month for a second or two then ran back to me with it, well bwt 2 meters away but i was happy with that. carnt call it his first rabbit but its a start i think. it is a good idea to take them owt with a air gun or not? he knows to run down the beam and its getting him retreving them so i carnt see it doing him any harm. what do you guy/gals think?

sounds like hes comin along nicely mate goin out with airgun will do him no harm as hes not putting his young bones under stress running and hes retrieving what you shoot so hes already a useful member of the team just remember not to over do it too soon i wouldnt run it for at least another 4 or 5 month using that time to get the dog bang on with obedience an obedient dog is much easier and pleasurable to work with when it returns to heel with click of fingers and walks at heel not my cup of tea havin dog drag me round on lead because if let it off it just runs bout .not that im sayin your dog does have you any pics do you know much about its breeding atb matty

thanks for that mate i mite take him ferreting and let him hold sum rabbits in nets in a month or so but not any flat owt running. dont realy no much about the breed mate as its my first lurcher, he walks to heel round the village unless they is another dog . and his recall is good and sit stay laydown paw and all the rest of it, im gunna keep working on his recall as if he smells a rebbit or owt he would rather try and find it for a second or two. i havnt got any new pick this is one of him at about 5 months.

its a dapper mate looks like first cross make top drawer rabbit dog many a happy season ahead ,up to you but better off training dog to leave netted rabbits and only take the runners easier to train to longnet work at a later stage buts thats only my opinion most will prob disagree

[beddylurcher 70]

yes he is first cross mate, i thourght it could be ok for him to hold them in the nets till i got there? or would i go through loads of nets letting him hold them?

thanks andy.

[matty73 4]

thats what the nets for mate if its set right itl hold rabbit til you get there and while your dealing with that the dog has the rest of the sett covered not that id let it run any bolters at this early age marking and watching will be enough for few month
