birddog 1,354 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 i'd try and gee him up a bit first, maybe let him see another dog chase / catch or even let him see a couple running away from him, that'll let you see how strong the chase instinct is, don't give him a 'dropper' far better to let it happen in the heat of the hunt so to speak. atb Quote Link to post
