SheepChaser 8,083 Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 I can barely let any of mine off the lead at the moment, so if I’m honest they get to prat about in the garden, a bit of a lead walk up the road for an hour in the evenings, and if they are lucky I drive them to somewhere they can have a mess about off lead and hunt a few rabbits. Was different when I lived back home, we’d spend early mornings and evenings mooching about free running and hunting up. No chance of that here sadly! Quote Link to post

The lines always provide good shooting for the catty . Quote Link to post

I always have catty with me. he sounds like he's going to be a versatile dog. mine has had 11 woodies so far, but a little dog bred as she is you would expect that. 1 Quote Link to post

Right now there are fawns all over the shop, from my garden hedge onwards. They are literally in every bit of cover, hedge, copse, bush etc. Also over run with hares. So an off lead walk turns in five to ten mins into a fawn massacre or a run on a few hares one after another till the dog is cooked and collapsed it smashed its feet and joints to bits. Oh and a couple of days ago I had to push to badgers out the road who were having a wrestle on a three way road junction in the the village, broad day light. 1 1 Quote Link to post
