the big chief 3,099 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 thats what lamp dogs should be doing buddy Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 As said mate, thats what is expected of lamping dogs. They should all return as soon as the lamp goes off, sharpish too, so as to be ready for the next run. Quote Link to post

stabba 10,745 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Just lost a bitch for not comin back when lamps off...in truth she was an outright cnut for it...although in her defence if she was really close to the quarry when the lamp was turned off then there was a very good chance she,d catch it unaided by the lamp..but like i said..that was her undoing in the end..just too much drive in her i suppose..atb stabba Quote Link to post

hare hunter 8 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 My bitch is like that Quote Link to post
trigger2 3,137 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 i always like my lamping dogs to be out in front by a decent distance. my dogs run the quarry and return back to within a certain distance say 25 yards which is what i prefer my dogs to do. they both retrieve 99% of the way.
