Best post so far. And I'm with you 100% on the 'they learn nothing in a kennel' bollox. Anyone with half an inkling about dogs, and educating them, will ensure that as pups they are reared, socialised, and educated as to the countryside etc, and not kept locked in a kennel for 12 hours a day, and without trying them too young.
It is a nice pup by the way, but I'm still wondering how it caught those rabbits, unless it practically tripped over them. He looks a proper big gangly pup, and too immature to have even half decent speed or coordination to catch healthy rabbits. Anyway, nice pup
