What you plan to do with her mate ?? I've just got a 4 year old Lakeland who I would like to keep to just ratting and bushing but I don't know if this is going to be possible

[greendawg 5]

I dont know mate, the guy said she had caught couple of rabbits n a few rats so id like to just keep it on the two if I could,its never seen an earth before so hopefully thats a bonus but I reckon if its in its blood to do it then it will,is there anyway you can stop a dog going to ground? I just dont wanna let it off bushing n it dissapear

[b53hunt 15]

if its game to ground and alone it will go no matter what you do atb pal

[greendawg 5]

cheers b53hunt,i thought that would be the case,ill just have to keep it off the land with fox earths or will it dissapear down a rabbit hole if it gets chance? Cheers

I think the bloke who had her before the bloke I got her off did a bit with her she's not too tagged up tho but she is ruff coated so probably wouldn't notice she can be a right nasty bitch tho to other small dogs unbelievable power , she's getting on well with lurchers tho , may get a collar and receiver tho just incase , any suggestions ??

[greendawg 5]

Well I took the bitch out today to a spot I know holds a lot of bunnies its a row of trees between two big open fields they planted a couple of years ago which I knew wouldnt take long for something to make its home in there so I kept my eye on it over the years,anyway I got their dogs nose was straight to the floor so I knew something had been about so off she went flying through the cover I heard her bark and out popped 3 bunnies n then the dog,so I leased it back up but was pullin like mad so let her off again n to my surprise this time I heard a bark n out popped 2 roe,just goes to show if a spots quiet enough anything will move in atb chris
