FIND SOME NICE SQUATTERS FOR HIM MATE AND GET YOURSELF BETWEEN THE RABBIT AND THE HEDGE MAKE IT AS EASEY AS POSSIBLE. ALSO JUST A COUPLE OF RUNS IF ITS HIS FIRST TIME OUT. HOW OLD IS HE.

before it was made illegal ..people used to get a netted rabbit i.e. ferreted ......and then take the rabbit a good way of were you caught it from ..so the rabbit didnt know the terrian .....then they used to put the rabbit in front of the dog and let it go ...the rabbit then is running blind so to speak ... e.g it dosent no where to go ...this makes it easier for the dog to catch .....doing this a few times over a few weeks gives the pup confidence and reduces the chance of your young dog becoming a yapper ... ...i think they used to call it giving them droppers ... but that was before it was made illegal.....they call it baiting now ...silly law...but all of us being law abideing citizens we dont do it anymore .....hope this helps oh and when we had done this a few times the next step would be easy rabbits on the lamp ....like the lads said above ...

no iam saying fetch a dog on daytime first ..then the lamp .....for alot of reasons .. and me personally i think its better to bring a pup on its own not with another dog ....but everybody does things different ...........snoop

droppers well is a last resort , get the rabbs in roughish grass were they will squat then take him out witha older dog then let him see whats happening ,i usaly let mines mouth a few rabbits in net , when ferreting but long before he even gets out to kill hees schooled on rabb dummies or roe dummies heel no what it is plus they see dead game all the time nothing wrong with droppers but would be a last resort for a dog never dropped rabbs since i was a yuong guy ,if you enter them properly heel do it and if he is bred right , i teach all my pups with older bitch fereting and net a few once she starts grabbing them i know shees getting about time to chase for real inbetween 9 months and eleven months usaly all depends on the make up of your dog ,

i can only tell what i do with pups .i take them out every time i go never mind what i am after .i dont ever pick it up at fences and i dont ever put it on a lead iv said this some where else on this forum they some times get in the way but what they learn early on in life sets them up for the future .some body will probabally say that it will damage there heart and lungs //only if the dog has not got the sense to stop when it has had enough //.on the plus side when it does mature its stamina is increased to what it would be if not taken and let to get on with it .as every body knows you cant beat experience.

Personally I think Snoops advice is spot on ,give him a couple of droppers ,and when he is seeing and chasing bunnies daytime ,take him out and give him a couple of squatters on the lamp,only easy ones ,and preferably on roughish ground where the rabbit is slowed up ,and the dog has a good chance of making contact.I dont like to run two dogs together on the lamp,one it is chancy because of collisions,and two it can f**k up a dogs retreiving,,plus some jealous dogs will growl off ,or worse have a go at another dog that tries to horn in on their kill.I would go with Snoops ,on this ,its allways worked for me.Inan
