B.P.R 2,798 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I go out because i dont like to stop and like to keep the dog's going i hate just walking them all summer it's as boring for them as it is me i kind of stop in july though at night but still let my lurchers run with the hounds for an hour or 2 in the evening usualy bunny bashing i like to keep dogs kinda sharp and fit all year it's alot easier to get them at there peak fitness come autum and winter We don't agree on much, but i think that's the first honest reply to the summer hunting question i have seen. It's refreshing. Most fok always spin the pest control, bringing on a pup blah blah line. Truth be told, my dog was out of action last season when she should have been out learning due to 2 broken legs. All the trainings in place, the fitness and build up from the legs is done and she's ready to go now. We run the lure for a bit of fun most weekends and I feel she needs that little bit more stimulation at her age now- just over 12 months. On the flip side of the coin, the pup here will come of age for Introduction to ferreting this season, will be out every trip and will have a few runs on the lamp towards the end. I'm not dressing up the fact I'm out or spinning a yarn. I'm just doing what I think it right by the Dog and taking it slow I know there are some with very genuine cases of the above reason mate. It's just nice to hear someone say, feck it, i get bored, so i take the dogs out for a spin. Quote Link to post

The dog is a good all rounder, I should have bred a replacement for him by now . I have only ever put him to one bitch for someone and I did`nt want a pup at the time . Thanks mate !
