100% Lamping Dog

[strongbow1 257]

I was talking to someone today,that said when he was really keen into lamping lamping, he use to only use his dogs for that purpose, no ferreting, not a lot of free running in day light, no mooching about just 100% lamping.

Did or does anyone still have an out an out lamping dog? If so do you think it makes alot of difference to working abilty?

I have one, and yes it does affect working ability, if you mean will it hunt up during the day, only if sommat jumps out an smacks it in the face..!

99% of my lurcher work is lamping i do go for the odd days ferreting. anything my dog does in the day for me is a bonus not all that bothered about it. both my lamp dogs will mark warrens but they are very subtle about it.

it makes for a better walk if your dog can work up in the day and switch on in the night

im sure theres a few dogs that could'nt be seen during daylight hours purely down to the battle scars. . . from the bunnies obviously.

 

I prefer a companion and hunting partner who is full time and not one of these part timers. . .

i try and keep the young ones for ferreting and that till around 12 months then try them on lamp some are better then others

as with all dogs don't like them one trick pony's the meaning of an all rounder is to do abit of everything to me and

that's how i like them but what do i know

depends how you look at it mate. a dog that took everything preban in the lamp is a all round lamp dog if thats you chosen way to work a lurcher.

no reason a dog can not do all disciplines. im out daytime every day, but i also lamp, i see no reason why you wouldn't do both, mind baw did tell me them saluki types are scared of the dark

They must learn what marking hedges and sticking there noses down sets and other basic day time stuff threw the summer , or do these sort of lamp dogs don't come out in summer time for walks ?? Not for me love being out with mine day / night

To me a real Lurcher is a versatile dog, should give it all a go not just lamping.

 

To my dog every walk is a trip out hunting so you can't fail to do all sorts of hunting.
