well i was away again for some sport up into the cumbrian hills longdogrunner was also out and i placed him on a farm a few miles from where we were so as not to bother each other i never heard from him again so dont know how he fared but he will probably put a post up tommorow. any way my friend darren wanted to give his saluki x a few rabbits to get her into shape so he brought her along for a few runs she did well considering she is not a lamp dog putting a few nice rabbits away with some stunning runs and strikes , for this reason typp was again allowed to run the majority of the

a short incentive by ian allowing us all to feel the empty space left by the closure of the site all be it only for the one night this site has grown imensley over the years and has allways catered for everyone its in our own interests to look after it and stop this stupid argument aggresive side of things, and keep everything above board, what s that old saying you never know what you have missed till its gone thank you ian for opening the site again when it would have been just as easy to walk away top man

your on your way now nothing beats that first rabbit that one you will allways remember well done
-
you decide when to slip your dog you gain nothing by slipping from distance as markbrick was advocating all beit in jest i hope all your succeding in doing is giving your dog a hard run and often nothing in return. iv seen this long slip performance done only in desperation just to get a run when very little was about granted sometimes in certain situations i will give the dog a long run if i think there is a good possiblity the dog will connect .other wise get between the rabbit and its home send the dog onto the rabbit from as close as you can this can vary with sitters from 50 yrds

best of luck lads and may the dogs go injury free

micky i know iv seen a few collie x dogs stalk up the beam as well frustrating it can be as well, this bitch is deerhound x greyhound 25 inches to shoulder and is now approching five years old prior to these injurys she would take every rabbit from their seat from any distance . ,she just runs a bit more cute now funny to watch but frustrating to me when i know how she was before . she still gives me a good nights sport and can fill a game bag but i tend to slip her on rabbits that are actually moving which she kills no bother. when you want large numbers a dog hitting in them their

well we decided to have another go at these particular setts due to the fact they were mostly clear of cover ie bloody nettles we last had a ferret through these holes on the 22 nd of august i knew that after the last trip we had taken 67 rabbits and i knew that the holes would soon be refilled with new customers as you can see from the pictures we had a good day i used the terrier to mark up for us and again he proved how valuable he is to help fill the bag even mr teapot would have known that for a positive mark a rabbit ran into this brash pile i found a few likely p

i was wet "ha "thats the understatement of the year i can honestly say thats the wettest those fields have been since iv been going up there , feilds were like mini lakes little islands sticking up with a rabbit sitting on it how the rabbits got there without getting wet god knows we had some good double catches plodging about on fields that had streams running through them the end result was made all the more respectable due to the conditions a pleasure to watch the dogs do their thing it will be a good few weeks before this land drys as rob said we travelled back in tea shirt an
