    Looks a canny dog supposed to be bob on, and can do red doubled up, looks right enough but not my cup of tea. just managed to bag 300 acres of permission, there are no rabbits but crawling with everything else. Just need a new lamp and dogs now

    best off teaming up with someone, and me being me il look in the most unlikely of places and find good earths hidden away. its all about using common sense, looking for tracks, well used runs, even using your snout! about 3 year ago i was out with two running dogs and about 5 bushing/terrier/pointers and a beagle and worked a huge wood block with loads of earths but never found one bit of scent. on the way back home through a well grazed green field all the bushing dogs took off and ended up marking in the middle of this field. when i got there it was a small drain no run to it nothing. that s

    biggest regret i ever had was selling up and heading off to the army. out now medically and before buying fridge or a cooker it was dog shopping. if you really want to get rid, make sure they go to a mate who if you have the urge will let you borrow back for the day etc... atb scott

    ive let pups at 5 month mess about with a pelt on a rope but i personally wouldnt be slipping on anything. i used to walk a mates dogs usually about 10 to 15 at a time around a bit of rough ground purelly to just let them have a piss n shizzle and now andd again a bunny would get up and the pups would have a short run but thats the closest they would get to a slip till atleast 8 month. i agree with that chap on your post about getting them out as early as poss and learning the trade, getting used to the different smells sounds etc.... just be carefull not to over do them. theres a chap down my

    ey up pal, little and often never over work a pup you will fcuk its joints and if not catching its mentality and keenness to course. im out every day with a 8 month old pup but il only slip him on easy stuff a few times a week, the aim is to encourage it not test it. good luck atb scotty

    evening, had a wee mooch with my pup today trying to let him see a little to bring him on. It was very over cast and had a low laying mist but enough to see for a slip. walked for about 4 miles over field and rough ground and didnt see a thing. so on the way back i let the pup off the lead to do as he will. spotted a bunny on the edge of a field and coursed it, couple of bends but inexperience showed as he drove it to cover but i was chuffed as it was his 2nd course yet so not expecting much. carried on and dog got a good scent and bolted for not far off 1/2 a mile if not 3/4. i caught up and
