  1. Just bought a cocker bitch she’s 8months old come from a pet house hold that could no longer keeper her due to moving.

    anyway I’ve had lamping lurchers all my life so 1st time with a dog that’s not a sight hound Im not looking for a out and out gun dog as I gave my guns up a few years ago but enjoy dog work she’s got the basics a pretty good recall and she sits but I want to get her retrieving and hunting I do have a little whippet terrier that hunts cover shell I just let her run with him like you would lurches to learn from the other or is 1 to 1 dummy training better.

    many thanks

    They don’t mate ,it’s a front you learn to spot .Same  as terriers .

    You can only work a brace proper or your kidding yourself they are working .
    These big leashes you see at shows say a lot about the owner ,feck all about the dogs .

    No you can't work a full pack of lurchers you could terriers bushing and a couple lurcher day time if that's your game but not lamping

    Decent trained dogs can be run singly off slip. Used to do that very thing when I was younger and there were rabbits about .Mother and daughter .

    Does no one ever work dogs off slip anymore to heel .Train one you can train another .Jealous retrieves we’re a thing but soon got over that if you keep on top the spare dog .
    Times I’ve been out with people who’s dogs are doing somersaults when it ain’t their turn .Very amateur .

    My dogs tried chewing the glass on a moter window to try and get out when it's slightly down hate to no what he would do off lead no chance ?

  4. After a puppy for my boy his apsalutly dog mad a I'm into my lurcher work but one would be to big for him yet I'm after a terrier or x or anything small really for him to play about the yard with and for me to take bushing and walking with my bigger dog ( also sensible money ) location Kent but will travel a sensible distance 

  5. Always shot tubes as a kid tried flat band couldnt get on with it and tubed so much better for heavier ammo and like said in a previous comment last longer alot lot longer I've had the same elastic sometimes for a year 6 months when I used to shoot more regularly

  6. Personally light force striker I've got a lithium battery but if your only doing a few hours here and their a sit on mower battery or something will be good enough and cheaper like said previously a led lamp is ok but the white light is poor for spotting over a distance definitely the yellow light is best

    Some guy was in court and got f****d for doing it. Lost license propper f****d him over. 

    Really a few year back I was jogging a dog out and the local copper was driving down the land he just put his hand up as we past each other and carried on I always use the same single track back lane never a buisy road lucky to come across a car on the whole jog out
