Great read,

I've got a great big lump of a GSP and he's dead keen, he's 11 months and a bit vocal at the moment.

Getting pretty good at retrieving dummies and anything we throw for him, has this habit of dropping it short of the hand at the moment too.

I'm planning on getting him retrieving for the geese and ducks next season.

Never done any lamping for rabbits with a dog at night, has anyone used these for this?

Had an amazing GSD (long haired and HUGE) and he managed to catch the odd daytime bunny, not deliberate on my part and even got close to a hare once!

If I'd been into hunting with dogs back then, I imagine he'd have been able to catch on the lamp without too much bother.

 

Being choosy when praising Roxy seems to be gradually curing her of dropping the retrieve, rather than delivering to hand; worth a try mate?

I'm going to def give him a go on the lamp, reads brilliant, looking forward to trying.

Funny thing is, for 24 years I've been a man who's had dogs, now I'm becoming a dogman lol. Crossing over to the dark side, or seeing the light?
