morton 5,368 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Try and get out with someone who will show you the ropes,id say with a little advice you will soon have the dog catching.Its always difficult to first get started,just try and make sure you pick up the correct advice,good luck.

bluebrindle 0 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi, I guess I was really lucky with my dog- he caught the first thing we saw (well I just saw a zig-zag blur) I have found the people on here give really good advice so if they say yours will catch I'm sure it will. They also advised me on my post what to do when they do catch. I have been working off their advice and having found an old small quarry that seems to be rife with rabbits I can't wait to get out there and see my boy do what he was bred to. Keep us posted I'm already worried I wont match the pics on here of huge hauls but for the moment I'm in for the smile on my dogs face, although I've already had a few offers for what he brings back...when he does.

nicklpool 0 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 In the spring / summer there's meant to be a closed season, which many hunters observe. BUT if you're just out strolling with your dog, and there are loads of diddies around, who knows what will happen? It's certainly a lot easier for an inexperienced dog. Hopefully your dogll get started before then.... Nick Quote Link to post
