I showed mine one in a stop end on tuesday, he was a bit nervy at the start but soon started baying and when his confidence grew he darted forward and took hold then drew his quarry out. All pups are different some start easier than others. Next time out try her first when you get a mark with an older dog. If she dosent go to it, then dig it with an older dog and Let her follow it back into the earth to try to dig her. But be patient, some take more time than others.all the best with the bitch mate
