tia.kins 56 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Good on yer for getting the dog out and picking up some bunnies. If your trying to get the dog to strike at game, then a couple of fat bunnies will do no harm and offer an easy CONFIDENCE building catch. I know very little about running hares, but i have had experience of a dog that wouldnt commit to a strike.....and any dog that is used to catch has to be capable fo this!!.........Confidence was the issue. I gave my dog a summers rest to mature...but kept him fit, then as soon as the ground was right, run him on his own on rabbits......after a couple of frustrating nights, it seemed to click, he developed a way of taking them, and can now hold his own if running with another dog. No his no out and out striker in the open on a run, but he will pick them up when the bunnies are pressured and trying to find the escape hole...... ....good luck with STORM Quote Link to post
