Millet 4,497 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Is it that simple? What if the rabbits sitting tight and the dog can't see it, do you have to walk up to every rabbit and kick it up. Yes it realy is that simple..come on it's not rocket science is it.. ..obviously they will be teething problem's to start with but a bit of common sense usualy overcome's these problem's..

reddawn 2,173 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) i see walking a young dog upto a bunny a good thing, i agree id be pissed off it i had to do it for a dog that knew score, but with a young dog i actually like walking them up, so much so if im out way a mate an they got a pup, ill often offer to walk it up lol whats the big deal wat walking a couple hundred yards at most??? more often than not i get the same buzz doing it as i did as a lad, not knowing what could happen, watching the young dogs reactions, its all part of dogwork, id much rather do it that way than go onto an empty field an mess about lamping a dummy or a food bowl ffs, how boring must that be, i dont think my pups ever see a dummy after 12/14 weeks old, life is a progression, how many here would liek to still have an etch a sketch instead of a laptop Edited January 28, 2013 by reddawn 3 Quote Link to post

I agree about walking em up with a pup, get em as close as possible, you want em to catch, not have a frustrating time of things chasing something they've only got half a chance of catching 3 Quote Link to post

whippet 99 2,613 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 in all honestly ..............................when your pup is ready to run ,............ just run it on squatters ..............walk with the dog up the beam and dont let go until it strains................. it will soon realise the end of the beam holds a rabbit......... keep to squatters for a while ...............it makes me laugh when people starting pups slip them on a squatter which is still squatting and the pup runs off ............only let them go on what they can see.................i always walk up until the dog strains (usually when the coney gets up) then slip ........... wont take long for the penny to drop,...obviously make sure there easy ones ,............out from cover........... 1 Quote Link to post

Read the last sentence of my first reply on this topic Millet, if that doesn't agree with what you said in your first reply I'm missing something. Who said it was rocket science. Quote Link to post

jamesmc 582 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 why do people make a big fuss over somthing so simple,its common sense ......walk as close as you can to the quarry,let the dog see the quarry,when the dogs strains on the lead and has seen the quarry moving.......slip ....simples 3 Quote Link to post

gouldy257 79 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) if you've got access to a ferret and some purse nets head out to a borrow or so get a few rabbits and bag them.. head to a big open green field and take a rabbit out the bag and let the pup see it and drop the rabbit and let it run 15 yards then slip your lurcher and let it get its kill.. then do same under lamp at night hell soon click on if he's any kind of a lurcher then stick to walking into squatters till they get up hell get on to it ATB Edited January 29, 2013 by gouldy257 Quote Link to post
baw 4,360 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Imo you don't need a older dog/food ball's or anything else for that matter all you need is rabbit's that are not impossible to catch..don't slip the dog till it has seen the rabbit move and it will click sooner or later.. Thank f**k you said that millet, well said 1 Quote Link to post
