TheWizard 6 Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 hammered the lamp this week with my pup. he's 12 months old now and starting to get the hang of it. he was getting a bit frustrated last week with some hard runs but got a few squaters at the start of this week and now he's much more focused, starting to look down the beam and catching rabbits after some pretty tricky and good hard runs. couple of nights running him with my mates dogs is helping him get the idea as well and we've had some pretty useful bags to take home!
