    Force fetch solves most any retrieving problem. There are quite a few books on the subject. The key, like most types of training. Is stick to one approach, be consistent, and pay attention to your timing. Good luck!

    Thanks for the reply's guys. Very informative. I had trouble getting on the site for a few days. Now I see why. It's been redone. I guess I thought they started with mining lamps because our coon hunters did. But, car lights are common and make more sense. Selling the sporting angle will probably be the test for our national resources commision. But, I have hope. Good luck to everyone this coming season! ATB

    I'm working on getting lamping for rabbits legal in my home state of Michigan. We can use lamps for predators, Coyote's and Fox, etc. But rabbits are exempt. Mostly because it's not part of our hunting history. So, I was wondering if anyone knew , 1. When the practice started in the UK? 2. How did the first lamping systems come about? Were they homemade? If so, were they put together from mining lamps? Or lamps from some other occupation? 3. Who manufactured the first commercially available lamping systems? 4. Which lamps are preferred these days? Thanks in advance for any informa

    This is state side of course. But I've used these for years. I like the rechargeable feature and they seem to last forever. Good luck what ever you decide on! ATB http://www.innotek.n...chargeable.aspx

    I named mine Inja. It's short and two syllables. Which to me, seems to work out well. It's Ndebele for dog. Can't get any simpler than that. lol Dakar was another name I thought about. After the race, more than the city. ATB

    This is advise I wish folks over here would follow. We seem to be having an all out war on public workers. While the bankers, who brought the worlds economy to it's knees. Just keep on getting richer. Some posters on this thread sound like they would rather fight over the scraps. Than take on the real problem. ATB

    Spanj has a point! They really do need alot of exercise. My wirehair lives both in and out. This is how I would keep one if I were in your situation. When you have the time for him or her. They should be ok in the house. When your busy he or she can stay in the kennel. You will not see any adverse effects from this arangement. ATB

    No, he's not keen on the British. Or the israelis, for that matter. But he did have OBL killed. Couple that with the Republican attacks on planned parenthood, and union workers. He's probably got another term coming. Sorry. ATB

    Plant a few birds upwind in the field. You can card them so they only fly so far. Or dizzy them up pretty good. Then lead her into them (into the wind of course). Let her experience the pleasure of finding and flushing a bird or two. The light bulb should go off. Repeat a few times in different fields. You two should be on your way. ATB

    cat hunter, that should be more than big enough for a single dog. Here, we build much smaller boxes, to help conserve body heat. I'll pu up a couple of links for you to look at. Maybe they'll help you, but, I don't know. Good luck with what you do. http://leerburg.com/doghouse.htm This has various sizes by breeds- shoulder height. http://leerburg.com/...up.htm#doghouse on this link, scroll down to the "best cold weather dog house" part. These are the boxes I built. I think if you don't have as much cold to worry about. You could build on this size, just leave out the devider. Shoul
