Nice markings on her, had she anything yet (bunny)

Looks a well built bitch, what you plan to use her on??

[Rabbithunter 456]

shes only caught one rabbit so far, but that doesnt bother me, i'll give her time to mentally mature before i do anything more than 3 or 4 runs a night. (i can count on one hand how many nights she has been out)

 

I really would to love see her hare coursing when shes older, unfortuneatly its now banned. I have an oppurtunity to go to isle of man, but not sure if the laws are the same, or even if there is any hare's on the rock.

Nice looking dog.

 

I think you are bang on though with regards to rushing it. At the end of the day I know it's hard to not go out because you want to work her. I started my lurcher at 71/2 months becasue I was really impatiant. I was fortunate as I didn't work her really hard because she wasn't even fully developed. It will be easier with my next lurcher because I have my older dog to work.

 

Is that a 3/4 Greyhound 1/4 Border Collie you've got?

She's really grown since the last pics RH. Your right to not rush her, you've got all the time in the world to start her. Keep up the good work, she's a fine animal.

i'll try get somebody to photo her for me, while i hold her to get a full on side view of her. She looks in good form. By september she'll be 16 months old so no doubt ready for a good run

that is a labrador and she isn't fat. she's just of a big build. she was used for roughshooting & waterfowl. When the foot & mouth struck, obviously couldnt go anywhere, my over the period my dad lost interest in the shooting so she is now just used for flushing.

really nice mate lot bigger than the last time you posted a pic of

[Rabbithunter 456]

over the past week or so i have noticed she has had a little growing spurt, think she's upped about half an inch.

 

she's big enough for what i need.......
