Buck's Doing Well

[Dewclaw69 484]

he's about 18 months or so now . 3/4 grey collie and really getting to know his trade now. rarely misses a bunny and when he does its my fault giving him an unrealistic slip. out again last night and had 2 out of 3 slips. good sized rabbits with a bit of fat round em. he's as fit as he could be and getting better all the time. his retrieve had started to get dodgy but he's back on track now.

freezers filling up nicely , he's catching more than we can eat so he's a pot filler for us.

really enjoying this collie cross.

Sounds like he's doing you proud.

I ended up with 3 freezers with Roo filling them. Collect up as much quarry as you can during the winter ready for the summer BBQ's!!

cheers lads. i'm hampered by the weather at the minute. just not right and can;t seem to get em away from the field edges. on the nights when the weather has been more suitable we're doing better.

sure he'll end up at what he is now, about 26". very clever dog and learns quick ( quicker than me sometimes so its 2 steps forward and one back) . making good progress and i'm learning a thing or 2 just as quick. my first collie cross. always had beddy and dh crosses before. he gives it everything, some right acrobatics on the lamp and a dab hand at nicking the bunnys back through gates or stock fencing when they think they've got away
