assassingirl 1 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 lol i think thats what make it a lurcher.....we have two and they will rarely bring back a ball if we try, parker has just started bringing a ball back but only if i run in the opposite direction.....they're good with rabbits though!!!

jembo 0 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Put her on a long lead, throw the ball (not too far) and let her pick it up and then call her and gently encourage her to come back with little tiny tugs to the lead as soon as she starts to come to you release the pressure on the lead and make a huge fuss when she does, she will soon get the hang of it.

Look back a few pages and see article , training a lamping pup, may be of use, good luck Quote Link to post

Look back a few pages and see article , training a lamping pup, may be of use, good luck it must be the bedlington in it.my bedlington is just the same she'll chase it ut then only picks it up if she feels like and brings it back when she feels like it to. but saying that she'll bring rats she catches to me so all is not lost. i,ve just crossed her with a whipett. and she gave birth to 2 dogs and 2 bitches. can't wait for the one i pick to start catching rabbits!!!! only 4 weeks old, feels like an age away before i'll be out working with it Quote Link to post
karl_20 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 thanks for the help, she aint a first cross, sfather was first cross, mother was beddy whippet x beddy whippet, she will bring back some times i will just have to keep at it, she did manage to catch a young rat in the garden last week tho and brought it back to my mum who wasnt best pleased, oops, cheers karl Quote Link to post
