how would you feel?

[HAMMERDAN 25]

Hi lads. Just had pup out on a few local fields covered about 2 mile, ive never slipped him yet as i think he's to young but after walking over 2 fields i just let pup off for a run about, i wasnt out hunting just getting him used to night time and lamp, i was flicking it on and off every 2-3 minutes just to see if he was following the beam, then just as i pushed through some bushland i flicked lamp on and there was a mr charlie, i had pup off lead and couldnt help him taking off after it, he coursed it for about 5-8 seconds before i recalled him in as i know its illegal to hunt fox with dogs, he came straight back to me as soon as i called him, before this he didnt realy take that much interst in the beam but dont know how to feel about it. Obviously i am pleased he followed lamp, but his 1st ever chase was on mr charlie, how would you feel? And for all antis, i would never let my dog kill a fox and the only reason he chased in the 1st place was because he was off lead.

I don't see the point of walking a dog and showing it the beam when he is too young to run, especially when hes off the lead...........Patience never hurt any dog........

how old is the pup

dont worry mate you had no intentions of what happened, i personally wouldnt worry about it , you will exsperience alot of things whilst out with a dog , sometimes it cant be helped. as long as you can prove your intentions you wont go wrong. good luck with your training - how ever you go about it

well i dont beleve for 1 minute when the dog was chaseing the fox you shouted him and he came back rand why was he off the lead if you had the lamp with you i think you have abit to learn mate

Bud9 like i said, i wasn't out hunting, you werent there so keep ya snardy comments to yaself, f*****g hate it when people try to change ya story, and ive trained pup to a high standard and he does what hes told. Thanks to the lads who actualy have something decent to say.

[HAMMERDAN 25]

he must be trained to a very high standerd becouse thares no way could shout my dogs off a fox do you think you could do the same with a rabbit shout him off it i mean and i bet thares hundreds of members that could not shout thare dogs back if they were chaseing a fox each man to thare own tho mate but if i was you i would start puting him on the lead when you have the lamp or you might find yourself lamping yourself alot

Bud9, i wasnt out hunting, it was just a walk and took lamp for no reason tbh. Ive just came into lurcher game. But have loads of friends who are experienced.

if hes 8 month old start him on rabbits now if you think hes mature enough alot of lads will agree 8 month is old enough for that good luck with your pup

what if your dog had grabbed the fox got bit nd then never chased owt on lamp again?all your good work would be wasted,so if i was you i would feel lucky that it was just a near miss...atb mick

For f**k sake, he werent on the lead, it was an accident and bored.. Making stuff up, you must know some low lifes, no joy in lying, someone who lied about a dog accidentally chasing a fox must be some little keyboard hunting f**k up, and some of you just sont get it he cane back when shouted end of.
