Quick lamp last night

[spudlington 3]

 

Decidied at the last minute to have a quick shine last night. Not a breath of wind and dog was a bit tired from road-work i've been doing with him so just gave him two slips. Two cracking runs, he's coming along well and caught his 11th and 12th bunnies. Only out for an hour and two rabbits for the pot

Cheers fellas.

He's in good nick alright WorldHunters but i'm going to try to bring his weight up a bit over next few weeks. He's putting in some cracking runs and stamina work on the roads but feels just a tad "soft" in the muscle still.

Haven't had a dog that opens up myself so no experience but it sounds like that could be the case. Is there terrier in her? The first thing I would do would be to put in plenty of fitness work with her in case she's opening up out of frustration at not being able to close the last bit of distance on a catch. Has she caught yet? Is she quiet the rest of the time? You should put a new thread up on this section of the forum asking what people think, there's plenty of experience on here, tap into it.
