Nice pic mate. Molly looks old in them pics mate. You easily forget she's been with you a few years when you watch her picking up the bolters.

She's at least 9 years old now mate. She looked like a puppy the other day digging away at a bunny I'd missed on a warren. I sat and had my cuppa and pie and when I'd finished I went over and pulled it out from the hole she was digging at.

I would be lost without her to be honest. . . I could safely bet my life on her marking.

That photo clearly shows how much skill the dog requires to catch a small fast moving target ,mollys strike is outstanding ,years of this trade has taught her the skills and shes still applying them even at her age .Bloody outstanding to see .

Thanks, chaps for the very kind words. 

Next thing on my shopping list is a decent camera or Video Cam etc.

I had a mate up today and his camera captured some amazing shots.. Flying bolts in HD.

I got a great little clip the other day on iPhone. 

Ferret drags bunny up to the entrance of hole and then bunny does a flying bolt dragging the hob down the banking with the dogs following. 

I must have had hundreds of bunnies in similar circumstances this season.One of the younger hobs caught a bolter on top of the Warren the other day.

I have honestly lost count on how many times I have pulled bunnies from the entrance of holes with the hobs attached.
