RossM 8,119 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 went out with a couple of baggies for mine and my mates pups, mine, roxi collie/grey/deer 7 1/2 months and 24 and a bit inches and my mates, hancock bred beardie grey 9and a half months and about 25tts, anyhow thought we'd give them a couple easy runs, first up my pup, gave the rabbit about a 25yard start and slipped her, she was up it pretty quick and turned it twice before striking and picking it up nicely retreiving to hand alive still. Second up was bud again gave the rabbit a headstart of about 25yards and my mate slipped him he was on it pretty quick too but let out a couple of barks? it turned him once he had a strike and missed it turned him again and then on the third turn he picked it up, also retrieving live to hand, my mates a bit worried though aout him barking? i think its coz the dog is a little unfit. anyway i had the camera filming all the action.........but never pressed the record button hard enough! so had to make do with a picture at the end result. ROXI & BUD Quote Link to post
