Ideation 8,216 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Fitchet - He has not really had the chance to see as much as i'd like on the lamp and took a while to stop using his nose, as he is mainly used as a ratching and ferreting dog, which he excells at. However, the penny did drop and he runs well, and catches well. He has caught the last nine he has run local, which doesnt sound much but is good for round here. He;s starting to show a bit of class in his running style now. Carl, cheers buddy And Joe, you're a cheeky b*****d 1 Quote Link to post
FUJI 17,328 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Good stuff Jai..shame about the myxi but theres not alot you can do about that?..it's the same here,this spring/summer in ALL my life i have never seen as many bunnies locally,not hundreds but non the less enough to keep the dogs keen lol..but that horrible disease has taken nigh on the whole lot,carcasses lay strewn in fields etc:...the dogs have had plenty of easy pickings too..hopefully if there are a few survivors they can steer clear of danger throughout the winter until the breeding season comes around again?..Keep at em matey ...ATB Andy a couple of myxi bunnies and even the Pom got one Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Nice photos Andy. Its a shame when the mixy comes around, it seems to be getting more regular again. I never saw it on the same farm last year, and we were taking good bags, 30-50 regular, a couple of times a week. This year ive seen it about a bit and have been doing 15-30's instead. Its not too bad at the moment, of the 15 i had yesterday, 13 were healthy, and both mixy rabbits were above ground, so hopefully, they are kicking the infected out of the warrens? And if it gets cold soon it shouldnt spread too far, fingers crossed Quote Link to post
