krawnden 1,036 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Been a while since I put any pics of my busher up. Not the best of shots, but here a couple from today. She's just turned 18 months. Still turns a deaf ear when she she's really fired up, but for the most part I can't complain. Certainly far more game in the bag these days because of her - she flushes for the runner but also catches on her own account. Not been keeping a tally, but I reckon she's probably caught around 100 rabbits now, most recent being one she nailed in cover yesterday. To be fair, probably half of those were myxied ones when she was a pup, but they did wonders for her confidence. Now she knows they're catchable she gives it 100% effort, and is fairly regularly rewarded by connecting. Occasionally she loses one - I can only assume she had a real tenuous hold by the foot or somesuch. Happened last weekend whilst ferreting - she piled into cover and I heard squealing, but 5 seconds later all went quiet then I saw the rabbit deep in cover. 2 seconds later she almost nailed it again but pushed it out for the lurcher instead. 6 Quote Link to post

My one will catch now and again but only when they sit tight. atb fella. Quote Link to post

A pup out of her, and a full on never quite sire produced my most sensible dog ever, not lacking in gameness, he killed a lot of un-run foxes when he was young, and without loads of damage, but you could put him in anything, and he was sensible, we used him on rescues a few times, a few dogs owed him their lives 1 Quote Link to post
