I bought my lamp about a year ago from scats,same size battery as Millets,ideal for rabbits.i think it was £78 [special deal with another cluson torch].the filter was £18.might be worth a look.

Oredtrim, Nipper ,sounds like good advice i'll get out with him tomorrow & give it a go, much appreciated. Sonny

thanks FJ & DS, I have been trying the bit of meat trick again .it seems to depend on what mood he's in ,sometimes one blast on the whistle he's head up and running to me like he's after a hare, another day i'd just as well stick the whistle up me arse!

I took on my dog from a rescue place as a 2 year old. He was pretty much completely untrained.I got him to sit , stay etc.the recall i did by using a long rope,whistling him back & giving him a bit of meat. after a couple of months i could whistle him back even when i'd lost sight of him,however sometimes now when recall him he'll look up at me then carry on scenting around and ignore me. i know he's heard me and he knows what the whistle means,so why doesn't the f***er come back.he always returns to hand when on the lamp & is obediant apart from this fault.how can i get him back EVER

How you doin Buck,it's his second year so i'm just getting his fitness back up after the summer.i took him out again last night & he picked up another 3 including 1 that just sat tight which pleased me because he couldn't suss out squatters last year. Cheers,Sonny.

definately not frost!still very warm here, we'd just had a rain shower & it's the reflection off the lamp when i took the photo.still need more rain as the ground is still quite firm.
-
I went out with the lamp last night for half an hour,i only gave him 3 runs to ease him into it & he caught on the third slip .looking forward to a good season.
-
pleased you got the new dog so quickly,best of luck with him.
-
my dog lives indoors & treated as a pet by the family.he's my first lurcher & i only use him on rabbits but he does o.k for me.
-
he just needs more runs to get more experience.my dog caught first time out on the lamp but struggled for a while on daytime rabbits.stick with it mate & he'll come right
-
i'm not sure of his breeding as i got him as a 2 year old,he's turned out to be a pretty good dog.if anyone's got any ideas of whats in his mix i'd be interested to know
-
i had a stroll around part of my new permission today,looks pretty good.in a few hours we saw rabbits,roe & a hare, i've been told there's fallow there as well .can't wait to get on it & the dog's getting fitter after having his dew claws off
-
nightmare for you mate .hope you find her soon.
-
i had a terrier that did it when she saw rats & rabbits,just excitement i think.
-
First proper catch and the best walk ever!!(for me yet)

nice one mate. nothing quite like watching your dogs first catch, especially if he puts a live one in your hand -
nice looking dogs mate,i would be proud to own the pair of them.

my dog's booked in for tomorrow to get dew clawed.my next pup will be done at an early age cos they're a pain in the arse.he's pulled em by chasing rabbits into cover & even when turning fast on open ground.i've heard people say lurchers need them but i'd rather my dog was'nt laid up for a week at a time.
