lol whins a legend dont forget

[whin 463]

were you out yourself kayal today so mild a [bANNED TEXT] nice day up north for rabbits or an early morning chase

[reddawn 2,173]

just sounds a very child like thing to do whin, my dogs will snatch bunnys that have stopped just inside a hole if no nets are there or in holes blocked up by falling leaves or branches or snow but to dig down get the 1st bunny yourself an then let the dog grab 2nd when you could have easily grabbed it yourself sounds a bit amatuerish lol

i am failing to see what good that would do not a dig just an opinion from somebody who does a fair bit a ferreting with dogs

[Guest Josy]

Excellent pictures

out constantly whin

pup hasnt seen fur in a hole yet so she is learning her trade as sometimes rabbs are 6 inches in or more and dog grabs them in some places not the normal thing i do but want to teach pup ,rabbs are not always on top at times sometimes we get them inbetween tree roots logs etc , so she learns as most of my dogs work is at nite and early morning ,been fereting several times in past dogs have dived into a pile of leaves out pops a rabbit when we are bolting in open trees ,good to let her feell the fur and lets her no that there more to rabbits than cacthing them on easy bolters or sometimes difficult areas , once she is up say 8 9 months sheel only get the odd day as other games to play lol
