[snoopdog 1,256]

i suppose its the kind off hunting you do ..i dont ferret or use nets off any kind .....i do lamp and walk and work cover through the day time and i get more than enough rabbits with doing that iam not a pest controler or sell what i catch so i dont need him to do anything else or more than hes doing now ......iam happy with that because i would say myself that my dog is pretty good at doing what i want from him ........so i reckon there quite a few different kind off rabbiting dog .....its the course for me the thrill of the chase ...i dont even like sqatters on the lamp ...i like the run even though he does pick them up i wouldnt mind if he didnt ....i suppose you can say i do it because i love it .......

well tomo with the way socks has worded it my dogs are not even rabbit dogs,of coarse they work day time mark ferrets to ground and retreve live to hand and also will dispatch a fox but my main interest is the lamp, they will work of slip i can drive the fields and they will stay at the side of the landy while lampin of coarse of slip and give me 100% and that is what i call RABBIT DOGS mark

[whip 1]

thers rabbiting dogs and thers RABBITING dogs ... any dog can mark a warren but not every dog can mark a hole in a warren and thats where the rabbit is ... any dog can work with ferrets but not every dog can work as part of the team with the ferrets following them underground watching the way the ferret behaves so it knows they are on a bunny ... any dog can be taught not to touch nets ..... not every dog knows when to grab the rabbit cos its about to escape the net otherwise leave it alone not every dog will IMMEDIATELY leave a netted rabbit once you get there and get back to the warren to watch for more bolters ... not every dog can work a longnet correctly ..... not every dog developes that nack of always being in the right place at the right time .... any dog can be taught basic commands .... not every dog can be guided and positioned where you want them on a 100+ hole warren in complete silence just with hand signals or a click of the fingers ..... any dog can be taught to retrieve ... not every dog brings them back completely unharmed so that if you have a milky doe you can release her ...... these are just a few of the many many things that make a rabbiting dog .....

 

as i said there are rabbiting dogs and there are RABBITING dogs ............

 

 

won't show this post to my dog,it'll give him a terrible inferiority complex. i thought he was ok till now!

a realy good daytime ferreting dog is worth its weight ,ive trained greyhounds off the track to lamp in a few weeks and follow the car in a month just took her out with expiernce lurchers, take roe hare fox rabbit ,but good ferreting dogs are well as good as two men , i would hate to go ferreting etc without a schooled jukel ,you cant beat bolting rabbs on good ground , pure sport and on shitty ground well it can be pure toture unless you have expierenced dogs , all in all rabbiting and foxing you need a good degree of body langauge with your dog something youll never get slipping a dog on a lamp hare etc its a three way combo you, youre dog and ferrets or dog and terreir all the best

after reading what socks looks for well i beg to differ as ive had several dogs over the last three decades i want mines to catch rabbits not in long net. but sometimes in purse nets especcaily in cover any rabbit that escapes stop it quicky fetch it back on to the next rabbit , catch rabbits were ever you take them ,and well work with ferrets ,when we do big bankings the dogs work along with ferrets following them or me its not hard to train a dog to rabbit but it is hard to train them to be spot on , go into nettles and cover ,for a catch , and virtualy the pace of a well bred grew , the one thing i like is a dog that honours the catch the minute you get there and they give you the catch or get off it if its abig beastie and let you do the nessecary , as for hand signals used to have dogs that worked to hand signals never done it for years i never caught realy any more than i did now , to me the most important thing is a well expiernced hunter or game harvester as these type of fellows get the best out of there chosen dogs all the best

 

i dont know why you beg to differ whin i was saying the same as you .............

mark can you work your dogs without slip as free as abird and do they know what they can catch and whats miles away i have two dogs when im out for a big nite both you can heal up and they work well of the leash no collars in fact one the saluk cross we dont even talk to, what we do is shine lite catch rabbit , fetch, on to next one or if bigger qauryy we go wind down creep up shine the torch bang hees got it or hees back, ive never inforced it on him thats his style and lots of big nites on his chosen qaurry , so he thinks its no big deal until the lamp goes on or when he winds one , none are collie crosses ,strange the collie crosses i need to check in and sometimes leash if they havent been out for a couple of nites
