squab 2,875 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 What are the other factors people look for in a lamping dog for it to be called good? They can't be white or afraid of the dark. I like a dog thats just as eager to get back on the slip as it is to get off it, none of this whistling and calling just lamp off and dog back. I' am gutted one of my dogs is white can you put some light on this theory f**k me not the white dogs are shite story all over again Quote Link to post

TOMO 26,448 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Regarding hunting up on the lamp,,, in most instances this is a no ,no,,,, however there are times, when hunting a bit of long grass or ruff set aside for a rabbit can be done,,, and I have done it many times, with great success ,, but of course this comes from experience and trusting in the dog, and having control of the dog... 2 Quote Link to post

TOMO 26,448 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 With regard to this following the beam 800 yard,,,,, I know some of you would lamp large game at great distance,,,ie let the dog see the eyes reflected,, and the dog wind the said beast,,turn the lamp off as the dog ran down to the quarry,,, then the lamp back on .. With rabbits,, I still maintain seeing a rabbit beyond 300 yard on the lamp is dam near impossible,,, Ok sometimes you may get a long slip,, 200 yard,, and the rabbit and dog,, run the other way and of course you keep the lamp on in the general area where they are,,, and sometimes you get a catch... But 300 yard is a very long way,,, don't believe me,, pace it out on a flat field,, put a dead rabbit on the ground,, get your lamp out and see how easy it is to see,, 8 Quote Link to post
