couple of hours out

[chilly 59]

hi all , went out with the ferrets for a few hours today , it was just a training exercise really lol , have started the task of finding my own permission and got some last week on a golf course that i ferreted when vary young , so the plan was to just have a couple hours out to start teaching my young hob the ropes , and the same my lurcher as this is going to be her first proper season .

 

all went reasonable well , considering the cover is still really thick , i found a couple of warrens but did do alot of walking around , plan to return there when the cover has died back abit with just the dog and scour the entire course to sus out all the good spots

 

as for the trainees all was well , the hob did pop in and out alot but it was his first day out and he only coming up to 6 months , and the dog was well behaved quite and patient , showed vary little interest in the ferrets and wasnt to bad around the nets so worth the trip

 

the older jill did boult 2 rabbits both came out of hidden holes tho and evaded the dog lol but not bothered just glad to be out

 

one thing i found good tho , after the hob came out the first time i walked over to pick him up and he hissed at me he was a little nervous , i held out my hand , he sniffed it and instantly relaxed and climbed into my palm , amazing how they now your sent like that

 

gona have to get a second collar tho didnt like having one without a collar on

get the collar it saves so much time and unwanted digging in the wrong place

that is my hope mate , she is a good dog still young and inexperienced but showing promise , and this young hob i have hopes for , he is such a little character and the tamest i have ever had has been a pleasure to own so far , just need to put the practice their way so they can learn and hopefully do well .

 

he is going in for a vasectomy in the next couple off weeks so he can then go in with the jills hate keeping him on his own , will get a pic of him tomoro turning into a bit of a lump now lol
