keeganrees 196 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Not really bothered what other people say or do with there dogs if the owner lies about the dog and you go out with then the dog will make the owner look a c**t so i just get on with what i do and that's enjoying working my dogs Yeah totally agree I keep track just to see how seasons differ and progress a dog has made or potentially lack off If that makes sense Quote Link to post
bird 10,013 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I loose count after 3000 ....... that's some rabbits Ken I found the numbers are down to say 12 years ago, but suppose if you travel all over you will get them. I norm count few catches with young dog, Buck over the ton from last dec was happy with that. But norm with Bryn when I take him now don't really bother as long he gets few lol Quote Link to post
weasle 1,119 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Just put the number and dogs name on calander.Any ferreted are put down to ferrets even if dog catches it.Any shot this time of year dont count. Find it handy to keep track how many nights a dogs running a week or when a certain dog needs a run. 1 Quote Link to post
morton 5,368 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I used to keep a diary for each individual lurcher,after every outing I would meticulously record the date,location,weather,time and even the company on each occasion,plus the night or days tally.At the end of the season I would spend hours upon hours formulating charts and graphs on each individual,comparing notes on time, location,weather etc. and how that equated to the numbers caught and by who.After 15 years and the spare room cluttered with shelving burdened under the weight of my magnificent endeavour,i realised most of the pages were blank. 7 Quote Link to post

Tiny 7 1,694 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I must admit I never classed the best catch dog on paper to nessarily be the best dog to you ( altho its not to like a good un).... Some dogs are your mates other's just never seem to not get as close.... I myself would rather have something I get on with that catches half as much as something that catches more but not on my wave lenght, I like my dog's more than most people tbh 4 Quote Link to post
