troter58 1,711 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 a good lamping dog needs to be used with a good lamp man and work as a team dont matter what cross seen 30 inch dogs make it look easy and small dogs that hoover them up it is all about how they are brought on a lot think it is point the lamp and slip the dog theres a lot more to it it takes a well train dog to fill a good bag of rabbits imo atb troter 8 Quote Link to post

Dranny GLC 112 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Was out all night but my dogs don't have the skills I would like. And I am very frustrated its only my second season. Both my dogs never come back don't let do when they do catch a rabbit iv got a crap clu light and it's no powerful enough. When one dogs runnin the other is going crazy in back of the motor sick of running after them all night I do more running than them. They were lucky they got home let's but it that way. Iv a whippet and a sulki bull x both aged 3. Ad whippet 3 months ad lurcher a year. Quote Link to post
gamerooster 1,179 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 the man who own's them!!! that can make or break it all. Your dogs look well by the way dranny Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Well a couple of the problems you mention are your crap lamp and one dog going mad in the motor. Easily sorted. Get a Deben Tracer 170 variable. Awesome lamp. Leave one dog at home. Concentrate on one this season. Work on recall and retrieve. Quote Link to post
