Dog picking runs

[dogmandont 9,822]

It must only be rabbitters that will put up with a dog picking its runs. Can’t see a man that runs fox, deer, are hares thinking it’s ok if he slips his dog and it decides Na that ones not for me. Lol.

That’s the point everyone has a different style of hunting and every dog is unique it’s own ways running the land it was brought up on, so for someone to say cull it it’s a pot licker (just a figure of speech not pointing the finger at anyone) because it picks its runs is wrong W.catchum hit the nail on the head it’s the plonker holding the lamp and most probably picking out the wrong rabbit to go for

Who.in the right mind would do that ffs 

Seen more than a few doing exactly that over the years nl. That and their inablity to train a dog and their piss poor attitude to dogs/hunting in general. And since the ban more clueless nerks have got into dogs, and lamping in particular.  All of which was the deciding factor in me not taking anyone with me when I used to lamp a fair bit.  Just not worth the hassle

An experienced rabbit dog that's worked often is not going to waste its energy on a no chance run.I call it brains and skill and the sign of a true hunting dog, not just a running machine.

You might have never owned a real hunting dog.

Its what the dog thinks is uncatchable that is, not you.I don't think you need bull blood in a rabbit dog.

Just knows its limitations.

But surely that don’t make it a real hunting dog compared to the dog that tried an caught rabbit or even failed?? Without pushing out limitations mate how do we get better???

Just means it has better working blood in it to me,compared to a track dog running through barbed wire to try to catch the uncatchable.
