ljs1984 3 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Good man Lewis. They all get a bit over excited with their first bunnys and any retrieving training goes out the window for a bit, but not to worry, keep up the training and as she settles with the bunnys, she should start to retrive again no bother. Nice whippet, good luck with her. Frank. Cheers Frank, will let you know how she gets on! Quote Link to post
