sjh 0 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Hi, I have been on here a while now reading and learning, I used to do a lot of ratting with my staffie in a London cemetry (30 years ago) there was so many i did not really need any skill just let the dog get on with it, 18 months back i rescued an American bulldog bitch who as a very high prey drive, she is extremely athletic at 24"ttw and 68lb in lean condititon. the past year i have been doing mainly rag racing against other bullbreeds where she is unbeaten apart from the bull lurchers/whippets. I have been taken her out lamping in late evening a few early morning trips in to the local fields where she been very close onto a few fox's. I hope to change this in the next couple of weeks by putting in more time in the field.In the new year i am hoping to get myself a patterdale pup and found the info on this site useful learning about the different strains.

I have tried lamping but again i dont have the know how so i am reading on here and in CW to get up to speed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
