Red Collar 28 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Pre ban I used to travel all over the place to work my dogs just to get them the type of work they was bred for,nowadays I'm still having to go an hour In me car to guarantee a good few runs for the dogs,I still hunt locally to exercise them but to be honest it can be pointless,when ye have good dogs and ye want to see them graft ye find yeself having to travel sometimes. how far do you travel? How often? Quote Link to post
