whippets first night

[Guest smashygadge]

well ive had to lay my big dog up for some well earned rest .

so took my 3/4 whippet out for first night on the lamp .

well started out as a training exersice ,i didnt think she would do much if any .

but i have to be out at night .anyway what with the moon up not thinking their would be much out.

we came across 3 sitters for the taking she ran 2 well ,a bit taken back by her new job i think .

but the 3rd one wasnt getting away a lovely little run and well caught .brought back as well ,i didnt think she would because she dosnt come straight back when light goes out but a bit of coaxing she is coming round.so the dog i thought i wouldnt make much i think is looking at a great winter and saved me some bordem .wahey study the rabbit ooty lol

spending a lot a time dane the retreive

she dane it perfectly till she catches lol

then its just walk away an mouth them

 

gonna get her bakout again tomorrow night

see what happens

 

self and same as my dog began and a freinds

a long hard stressing road .

does she keep walking if you get up to her fast?

Well done mate, the first of many i'm sure. She'll steady down after her first season. My pup Vixen was hyper before her first season now she's a force to be reckoned with on rabbits, either lamping or ferreting. keep us informed on her progress

[Guest smashygadge]

  donnie1 said:

no jus stands there mouthing it

 

she retreived perfectly last season

thats whats annoying

 

but if im honest she aint got many faults

so i ant complain

 

 

dont sound as bad as ive seen or had then lol .

my last resort when i got to that stage is give my little call.

turn around and head off in the oposite direction

soon got him up and coming into me.

also he new i wasnt happy when he had dumped rabbits to follow me.

then having to walk looking for it .

and soon got the idea.

but iam no trainer but at that stage that is the route i took,it worked

Sounds like shes off to a flyer. I have a bitch of the same breeding but she only made 21" cant complain about her she seldom misses a rabbit ijust expected her to be a littlr bigger. What height is your bitch to the shoulder.

 

Thanks

thats what i keep saying ill do lol

end up walking over an taking it off her tho

 

ill try it tommorow night, see what happens

got nothing tae lose

 

 

it is seriously a good one

even i just used to give him a squeek or how ever you call .

stamp me feet flash lamp the oposite way

walking away

he would stand malling the rabbit until he realised id dissapeared

i used to watch him hiding behind wall lol

and he would come running with no rabbit

give him a gob full storm back to find the bunny lol

then walk back to the first spot

show him putting it into the bag .then a little pet just a little

then do it over and over until they click and she will

oh and you will be twice as fit ha
