First rabbit on the lamp for my pup (in pictures)

[Sirius 1,391]

I had set out to get a few quick snaps of my other dog lamping as my friend had just got himself a new flash for his camera. Seeing as it was a quick walkout I took the pup (near 9 months old) with us. All was going well until we decided we were going into a new field and i had told the dogs to 'stay' while we negotiated a gate, I proceeded to call the dogs over the gate, and the pup decided to disappear into the field ahead of us . I called but nothing, so gave the field a sweep with the beam and the pup was up tight behind a rabbit which he ran and caught after a few turns, luckily my friend got it on film. lamp off and I called the dog encouraging a retrieve, the dog was then at my side minus the rabbit so I gave him the command for a send back retrieve and back he went picked up the rabbit and brought it in at speed.

So not a ideal start to his lamping career and no tidy catch a live retrieve but a catch and a retrieve none the less and it’s still early days.
