matt1979 766 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 The schnauzer is out everyday with me doesn't enter really tight cover, but is keen as any of the terriers to be fair as genuinely will go allday. Quiet handy for me as my terrier is mute but the schnauzer yaps big time when close to stuff. He had tackled most things you meet on walks over the 6 years I have had him from a pup, Never going to be as a world beater or good as a specialist or my SLT but he certainly enjoys having a go and is a tough little bugger great coat as well atb 1 Quote Link to post
derekbrown 176 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 A whole series of misses and bad timing today. (Some of it was filmed into the sun so not that easy to see.) Love the bouncing busher in this first clip - Lurcher completely wrong-footed on this one - Lurcher is half hearted enough isn't he. Quote Link to post
day and night walker 235 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Was out with my one today but didn't see much, she had a couple of hunts through the cover but nothing too get her really going. I don't know if there is not much about or if the dog is going through a bad patch because she does not seem to have her usual drive. I just can't understand it when i first got her she showed real promise her only problem was her recall but she always came back in the end...Ive not been doing that much rabbiting with her lately but she has been catching the odd rat here an there and she seems well keen for them at least. atb daywalker.

I don't know whats going on with her because i usually have more trouble getting her to stop. She has caught in cover in fact she caught her first when she was 8 or 9 months old she is 21 months now and she has caught about a dozen since then all healthy bar 1, no record i know but she has had no other dogs to learn from in fact she has never been out with another dog, i would love to get her out with other bushers but don't know any one round my way who does it any more. oh well maybe its all those stingers about at the mo but saying that they never bothered her when she was a lot younger. atb fellas daywalker.

Stingers are definitely putting my pup off. Where she was crashing into thick stuff unhesitatingly a month ago, now she's very cautious. Most days from her reaction I think she finds at least one rabbit in stingers that she's very reluctant to go in and shift. I try not to worry about it and just let her decide whether to go in after them or not; last thing I want to do is risk putting her off completely. Whereabouts in Berks are you fella? 1 Quote Link to post

day and night walker 235 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 https://youtu.be/uFU-QIGcdP0 just checking the stingers Those stingers are every where at the moment, took my one out day before yesterday and she was suffering when i got her back. I think i'll leave it for a while as i don't want too put her off. atb daywalker. Quote Link to post
krawnden 1,036 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 https://youtu.be/uFU-QIGcdP0 just checking the stingers Difficult to tell from the video wi11ow, but are they following little tracks and gaps through the stingers or do they just push right through them without bothering?
