My 3 at the mo

Well very poor season really not doing half of the norm but the last couple of years i`ve had personally just greatful i`ve still got me dogs just as the season is coming to an end they are all just about spot on (touch wood) so things will be busier for me i have been doing bits but my saluki type dog dislocated her front leg extremely bad in july so she has had rest but got back in to things tracking roe muntie charlie hare and catching a few bunnies...The little beddy bitch has as always been reliable, showing even with a few minor injuries she`s still got the grit for what is needed and has recieved a fair amount of bites from tracked foxs this season but has managed to track at least 20 since having her pups in may along with her normal nights lamping and ferreting..Then it comes to the runt of the litter that i bred and couldn`t stand nick named MOUSE because thats whats she looked like and is now named mouse lol she has come on leaps and bounds she is only 9 months but has also been with her mum on 2 tracked charlie and loving the ferreting so things for next year should be more crisp i hope....Got no camera at the mo so only pics i have ae on the phone and noe are of anything just me sat here board waiting for my chinese lol..........

I am playing catch up brindle bitch found a dead roe this morning and tracked a wounded muntjac so it is all a matter of time with the old injuries and just a bit more from me...Work for me is easing up more for this year so should be able to contribute more than i have with the rehabiltation...Got to thank the mrs for most of it...I am more than likely going to have a pup from the beddy bitch to another first cross beddy grey that is from the same lines dont know if it has been done before first cross to first but giving it ago so we will see.............

So true mate but i think getting a dog to jump freely is such a must mine jump like stags and have avoided so many more potential injuries with clattering in to stuff rather than opting to jump it...Barbed wire is mines biggest down fall....

Most gateways have a gate in them funnily enough...Now what ever your dog is running the chances are they make for the gate and nine times out of ten get through be it speaking pre ban a hare,fox,deer or even a rabbit for my dogs to take plenty of game they need to jump the amount of catches they have had when a hare has gone through a gate and they have jumped it whilst i have seen other dogs not familiar with jumping clatter in to it and run up and down trying to work out how to get through a dog that cant jump is more at risk i think than a dog that can cause if that dog dont know how to jump and tries there could be a problem....

My dogs will hit what ever they are coarsing the moment the strike is on they never hang back and wait for help mate ie obstacles to slow things up..So if the deer pre ban obviously was to have a head start on the dog good enough to get over a fence before mine did then i would expect a dog to jump it but it isnt just deer that jump or get through even a rabbit can do that i personally think it is safer to jump than to get there and scrabble...I do fully understand your point i would love to work my dogs where jumping isnt a thing but it is.....
