Pups first rabbit.

[sorel-2007 0]

Took him out last friday to let him see a few. Gave him two short runs just to see if he was keen. Unfortunatly he missed both. Took him out for his normal walk this evening and he saw the flash of tail and let him go, caught it after 70yds and a couple of turns. Straight back to hand alive and un-munched, all that training seams to have paid off. Just got to restrain myself now as he is only seven months tomorow, I'll just give him a short run every other week until he's one. I was like a dog with two d**ks let alone him. :dance:

Cheers Jordy. He's my first lurcher. My brother used to run a couple of dogs a few years ago and that gave me the bug. Could have bought a made up dog but decided to have a go training my own. Worth every minute I've put in to him. Self restraint the problem now.

you got it self restraint is the key now, the dogs showed willing and remember hes a sapling and his feet

are easily damaged at that age, a run now and then to keep him keen is the job.

good luck with him all the best .moocher

it feels good when he gets the first, mine is 11months and has caught 2, unfortunatly both have been returned dead and bruised

The 1st of many to come. Well done. I would hold him back a little now, however tempting it is to continue, 7 months plenty of growing to do and training to continue with him. Patience will bring awards, he is your hunting tool for many years to come.

Congratulations! My one year old JRT caught her first rabbit about 3 weeks ago in a hedge. I'm going to have to wait a little bit longer for my Beddi/whippet to catch his first, he's only 10 weeks old!
