stripes 401 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 As above your bitch is just keen to work and catch,,and many a rabbit has been caught just hiding in the confines of the hedge cover..it would be worse if she just gave up and couldnt be bothered. Ok that's great so you think eventually the penny will drop when she learns the tricks of the trade abit more? Many thanks yes she will grow out of it the more rabbits she works and catches, she is a bitch that is hungry for it, walk over to her and put her on the lead until the next chase atb stripes,, is it the brindle bitch in your avatar,, put some pics up.

Richard Morgan 38 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 My little bedlington whippet used too do that but it would often put rabbits in the bag. When a rabbit hits a hedge and it is off course the dog would often nab it. But then I know what you mean you don't really want a dog storming a hundred yards through a hedge on mission impossible making a racket when there is lamping too be done. Swings and round abouts I guess my beddy got his third rabbit off a run in the hedge tonight straight back to hand proud as punch i like abit of drive in a dog was out lamping couple of weeks ago with an experienced dog it got two out hedgerows they all tally up i wouldnt discourage it atb Quote Link to post

stokefan 7 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Theres a lot of potential there for a NATURAL ferreting / bushing dog just a thought i like your thinking but dont have ferrets and not overly keen on bushing, i got her for lamping and thats what il use her for mostly obviously if a spot of ferreting comes up i wont turn it down lol Quote Link to post
Mick C. 229 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Shes the double of a dog i once had. Cant remember the exact breeding but there was bedlington in there for sure. Hope you get what you want from her. Certainly looks promising Quote Link to post
