Young dog 2nd time on the lamp

[DEKAW 85]

Took my young dog(14 months) out for the first time lamping last night. Have put a lot of time and effort into this dog so i was hoping he would do ok. I slipped him 5 times missed 4 and got one and brought it back to hand :D As long as he caught 1 i was pleased. Still yaps sometimes when he is on his quarry but im thinking this is down to excitement :unsure: :unsure:

Nice one mate,its always good when a young dog gets its first rabbit. Good luck with him

nice 1 mate , well pleased for you and your dog , always good to see the hard work paying off .

 

little tip tho try hold it back when your out so you can pick his slips, real windy nights are good for squatters and this is even better for the young dogs

have you had the dog out on rabbits before [day or night]

This is the first time i have had him out on the lamp. I run him day time with my other running dog, so the answer to your question is yes.

Don't expect to much to soon, let it see plenty of rabbits and pick its runs to give it the advantage, looks good youngun, keep at it, good luck.

Just an update on my young dog. Coming on really well. jumping, retrieves live to hand. Tried him out again on the lamp for the second time. Seen a squatter right out in the open so walked slowly up to it, the dog was looking everywhere but not on the bunny. When it lifted he was straight onto it 4 or 5 turns and he nailed it :clapper: and brought it back to hand :D Some how during this run i lost his slip lead anyway was happy with his performance so headed back to the car. Thought i would have a quick shine in the last field before the car. There was a bunny sitting right out in the open, so i started walking up to it with the dog by my side. The bunny lifted and he was straight onto it, nailed it and brought it straight back :D Total chuffed with his performance for only the second time out on the lamp.

These are off the other day
