DottyDoo 500 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Firstly why no fling a baw if you think it makes a difference ? however a baw/lead whatever doesn,t jink like a bunny secondly and i really can,t be bothered but when you introduce the dug to the lamp when it trys to hunt up after a slip use recall don,t worry if you scare all the bunnys in that field away, the initial few trips out are all important, get recall spot on, a dog with half a brain will soon learn when to keep its head up or nose down depending on the situation no it doesnt jink like a bunny butstays in an exact spot and if they wanna pick it up before the other dog then they have to get it on the outrun my dogs return after each and every slip straight away but i was always taught that daytime teaches lamp dogs bad habbits and my mate is seeing that problem atm with his dog. do yer dogs knopw the diffrence between walking an running after a lead, an working on lamp????? yh id imigane they do dotty, but as i said i choose not to mooch my dogs often and so i dont. id possibly do it more if i had a terrier but only have the 2 bullxs. well thats my point mate, my dogs know the diffrence, a mooch in fields gets them a tad excited when i get me boots on an grab the leads..... they will wag tails an sit in sleep boxes happily waiting for me to let them out..... but if its dark an they see me in lamp cupboard lol, then they will whine like fook to get out an once allowed out, they wont leave my side, for fear of being left in........... so dogs can an do know the diffrence between theyr jobs..... you also stated that you dont mooch a lot, so how can ye say 1 way or another that it will make yer lamp dog hunt up sounds like ye beleive everything ye hear, instead a trying it for yaself an having yer own opinion you keep mentioning rabbits, an that your dogs aint rabbit dogs, what the fook is that got to do wae it...????

morton 5,368 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Although i don't let the adult dogs become unfit out of season i do increase their roadwork about 6 weeks before the start of the new season,along with a slight increase in diet[barf].They are then entered gradually into the new season,as their fitness and stamina progresses they receive more and longer runs,hard days,nights,in the field will be followed by a rest day or two,they still receive roadwork.Its then a case of judging individual dogs performances,some need more rest,food,exercise,than others to keep them in optimum condition.
