A WALK IN THE DARK.

[Guest Frank]

Well, me whippet pup is just over 6 months old now and doing great.

 

I have been watching her for a wee while now and she is more hunt then play, cought a blackbird their the other morning in the garden :whistle:

 

So, after much thinking and messing about, off i went out just for an hour last night, to see how she would do on a good bunny.

The night was not the best when i arrived, bit calm, just a slight bit of wind.

The first feild, their was a few in it, had my pup on a slip and she was pulling this way and that, going round in circles sniffing the wonderfull scents that abounded round her feet. I must get a longer slip lead, as this morning, my arm is dropping off.

As happens, she did not spot bunnys scurrying off and i could not get close enough for a decent slip, as the bunnys were a wee bit wise i think.

Why is it that when lamping and their is not much wind, each foot step sounds like an elephant walking on boards?

Anyhow, i eventually, sliped her on a bunny about 20 od yds away, it went straight down a hole.

But, on her way back, their was a squater and she put the nose down and lifted it out of its seat, couresd it, turned it once and picked it up on the run , CHAMPION.

 

Came straight back home after that, not a breath out of her when she got it and she was keen as musterd.

Will leave her now for a while, another learning curve for her, but, she has a lot to learn.
