connerdaboss 20 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Got up and out for about 9:30 today with the dog which up until now, couldn't catch a cold. Walked a few miles to a small wood and had a mooch for an hour or so and every now and then saw a load of rabbits bolting everywhere and my bitch running round like a loon being miserable slower then all the rabbits in the area.. I was thinking she's got slower since she's lost weight, just couldn't get my head round it so decided to head home. On the way I popped into a large field of wheat stubble, looked around and nothing was about. Anyway I was playing running with her and then feet in front of us a hare jumps up. At first I was calling her off as she'd previously been straight lined before, not this time. She was up its arse for a good 10seconds before turning it and then she turned it again, and again! Considering she's half lab she wasn't doing too bad. Unfortunately I didn't see the end of the course as it led her through a hedge and I lost her for 10mins lol. Gonna work on her recall for a month then start her lamping. Atb Quote Link to post

Did she show any interest in any holes ? No not really, she sniffs the odd one tho. She likes following trails in long grass and knows when it's not being used. If there's nothing there she either doesn't follow the trail or comes back after following it abit Edited September 13, 2014 by connerdaboss Quote Link to post
