take her to a field where catches are made a little easier with thick hedges... i dont like starting them on squatters either because, IMO, they sometimes run ahead a little and then stand staring at the beam unable to recognise what a squatter is, sometimes they will turn to stare at you as if to say "what the feck" and then, of coarse, the rabbit pisses off on ye and the dog is lookin entirely in the wrong direction!! i prefer picking bunnies that are already on the hop!! that way the dog will learn to run down the beam easier... oh, and only give him 3 or 4 runs the first couple of nights until he starts to connect with a couple... thats just how i do it anyway... seems to work for me

Thanks for the advice - we're planning a trip tomorrow night so we'll try it and see!

Hi Claire - my lamping advice would be go to somewhere that you already know during the day, somewhere you have checked for any obstacles, fences, holes, rubbish or machinery that could cause injury to your pup. You will hopefully have many years together so take it nice and easy and do not be disappointed if he's not catching. Give him a couple of runs then call it a night whether he catches or not. Good luck and enjoy your whippet - he looks a cracker.

Martin I'm green with envy She's really looking grand

[clairerichard 0]

She looks fantastic! How old is she?

 

The new pup we're waiting for is going to come from Lena and Sooty's brother (can't find his name!)

We must be mad George has only just stopped chewing everything and now we're getting another. Any advice for introducing the two?
