Trigger 26 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I was at a friends house the other day and the topic of taking pups out lamping was brought to my attention buy him after he had read about someone taking there pup out at a young age on this site so i have joined this site to tell you a little about my working dog. I have a four and a half year old lurchur dog called Trigger. Trigger started his nights out lamping at only 8 weeks old he was taken almost every night for up to four hours walking he had practicly no help at all from me to overcome any fence or obsticle after a couple of weeks of this he started to improve on the time it was taking to get through the fences and overcome whatever obsticals we may have come across. Each evening we got home i noticed the nettle stings had been getting to him has he couldnt lie still for half an hour or so when we got back home. however this never took him long to get used to and never stoped him pushing through them on any nights lamping. Buy the age of 12 weeks he was allready showing great intrest in what was going on when my other lamping dog was giving me the rabbit she had caught. When he was exactly 4 months to the day i took trigger and his sister who one of my friends owned out for a nights lamping and he had allredy gained enough knowledge to work the lamp and would go down the beem and would even make a put for a squatter this was the night the pups caught there very first rabbit on the lamp. From that night onwards trigger went lamping on his own and worked the beam well he was unable to catch his first single handed rabbit untill 5 and half months buy this time he was getting over or through 98% of fences and i never had to worry about him. As the last couple of the lamping season months past he got bigger and the amount of rabbits he caught got bigger. At the age of 12 months the second season was just starting for trigger buy this time he had the brains and stamina to catch double figures for fun and our nights out have been very rewarding. When he was 16 months old i run him with a whippetXbedlington on the lamp and went home having caught 51 rabbits both dogs run together on every rabbit. The past twelve months of work he had done from the age of 8 weeks i belive had developed him with both the brains and the stamina to be able to do this. since then he has caught many large amounts he catchs 20s and 30s often when lamping and has had great sucksess on other UK quarry. he has caught 44 rabbits on his best night out on his own it did take him just over 4 hours to catch them but he done it. the last night in september last year again running him at the same time as another dog we managed to catch 52 rabbits thats both dogs together. I totally agree with taking pups out at only 8 weeks old it is the only way to get an outstanding dog. I would go as far as saying that a lurcher who hasnt had this sort of up bringing is no where near in the same league as a dog that goes out at 8 weeks old. Trigger has grown into a strong dog with good strong feet end teeth and is very well educated and inteligent which i owe to taking him out so young he is still as keen as ever and hardly picks up injurys. he wouldnt of been half the dog he is now if he didnt have a early education.

Guest jessy Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Welcome to the forum , dont mean to be a pain but can you edit your post into paragraphs as its so hard to read KAY i dont mean to be a pain either , but ,the working lurcher has declined to what it used to be ,i wonder if it is down to people like trigger who knows how to get the best out of a dog ,or people who know how to dot their I,s and x their T,s what do you think .
