trigger2 3,137 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 with the season drawing closer and my new pup getting bigger by the day i have been looking forward to the start of the season, and that first night of light rain and wind. yesterday mornings forcast said rain all night in my area so as the evening started to draw in the weather looked spot on to try and give my pup a opertunity to see a few rabbits caught in the lamp. so i set my alarm for a couple of hours time nodded off and awoke to rain as forcast so i loaded the car up and drove to my destination just to see whats about. anyway the pup got to see plenty of action and a few bunnys caught, along the way i decided to give him a couple of solo runs but he kept losing them in the thistles. as luck happened i dropped onto a field that had been mowed and bailed a few days previous so i give the pup a slip on there which resulted in his first ever rabbit in the bag retrieved straight back to hand. onto the next field where i slipped the pup again but the run didnt go as i thought it would but that to ended with rabbit number 2 in the bag again retrieved straight back to hand. i am ready looking forward to the season ahead. we ended on 14, 12 for buster and 2 for the pup. one happy young pup. he will be 5 months on the 12th of august. 13 Quote Link to post

terryd 8,385 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) Mine hurt him self at 7 months just a freak accident but it taught me what damage they do if they are go for gold merchants. Its very tempting mind to get a couple under the belt but now the pup has done that I would keep him safe till end of the season as far as lamping goes. That is just what I learnt my self anyway. Nice looking pup you are going to have some fun in the future What cross is he trigger ? Edited August 2, 2016 by terryd Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I've been waiting for this post for at least a month. I'm surprised you've waited so long. Haha. Well done to the pup. Can't wait see him run come the winter. 1 Quote Link to post
straight2hand 303 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 not worth the risk for me - all things come to those who wait, especially if you can get a lamp with an older dog anyway. But the dogs unscathed and off the mark so no harm done. Be just right for next season in 12 months time Quote Link to post

Coursing mad 24 874 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 You wouldntcrun a young horse at 5 months old or even put a terrier too ground that age . I'm all for early education but I wouldn't be running that pup til its finished growing . all its muscles and bones ligerments still very delicate at that age .. 1 Quote Link to post
