Wales1234 5,546 Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Was out early this morning really cold and was excited to see the dogs finally getting some good scent , 100 yards out the card one got up and young bitch didn’t see it but she knew exactly where he went gone out of sight old bitch isn’t what she use to be and couldn’t keep up so just totally lost it and came back was watching the tracker and was nearly a mile away and could hear her speaking so she was on him , I could just see her in the distance when she disappeared found her sprawled out first thought she was dead but she was just knocked out , carried her back to the car and all seems ok but a mile with a 35kg bitch on your shoulders is a killer 1 Quote Link to post
BEARINATOR 2,872 Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Shame about the old lass, hope she makes a speedy recovery but at least you got out Quote Link to post
reddog70 236 Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Hope she makes a full recovery mate, she looks like shes in good hands Quote Link to post
moonlighter 1,164 Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Hope she has a good recovery. I couldn’t imagine my dog being a mile away… that’s a totally different style of hunting isn’t it? I live in Lincolnshire, and a mile away would have crossed roads, dykes, and be unheard off.

It’s what iv got on my doorstep it not much game wise but you can have some real fun ! And got to get dogs to suit , what iv noticed is between my two bitches is the old one is smaller and taken a lot of knocks and cost me a lot of money fixing her but my young bitch is bigger and doesn’t take the same knocks 3 Quote Link to post

She’s slowed down mate , she’s had couple good days this year but if we have a good hunt or a long walk it’s 2/3 days off before she can go again , she was 10 this year Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Hope all is going well. Good dogs when they get to 10 just get cleverer. admittedly slower but the fact they still want to go shows you what they are made off mate. Quote Link to post
