clairerichard 0 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 We didn't get any near any rabbits- they were all on the far side of where we took him - next time will appraoch from the other end. However the good news is that he was as keen as anything and ran faster then we've ever seen him go. We'll be back ! Quote Link to post

We'll be back ! did you have a slip then? try to pick them carefully so he's allmost guaranteed a catch to help boost up the young ones confidence. if you can get them to run up the beam to you even better blinding the rabbit- just mind you dont blind the dog lol. sometimes rocking the beam can put them off abit and give the dog a few more seconds for a pick up especcially near hedges. best of luck and enjoy that feeling, walking home buzzing when he eventually connects Quote Link to post
