  1. Cheers for replies all. She's 1/2 whippet,3/8 Greyhound,1/8 saluki
  2. Jiggy I've no intention of breeding just reckon it may mature her abit.
  3. Has anyone had a lurcher not mature until gone 2 years old got a bitch here age 17 months not came in season yet and very very puppyish
  4. Personally get out on your ground and smash it,Really make a effort. Better if you catch them and not them. Most spots get poached now and then. But if there's nothing there they will soon leave it alone
  5. Have a 18 month old lurcher that has grabbed rabbits that were fumbling out of a bet and also dropped the odd rabbit bringing back on lamp. She is really soft mouthed which is what alot want but what can I do to make her more hard mouthed. Some have said run on a squirrel or rat that can bite back.

  7. With my work now I can only really go out for a good session with lamp at weekends. But gonna start nipping out the odd evening on week about 7 - 10 just to keep dogs ticking over
  8. Do you think the rabbits are easier to catch the later on in the evening you go
  9. What time does everyone go out lamping. I always try to get in the field around 10:30pm. Does anyone go out really early
  10. What's everyone's recommendation on lamping wear. Been using wax jackets for a while but thinking of getting some decent trousers and jacket
  11. Whippet x greyhound are untrainable. No brains

  13. I owned a whippet/grey x saluki/deerhound/grey she's 17 months old and not had a season yet. Out lamping she stands off with her retrieve about 10 yards but is fine with a dummy or dried pelt and doesn't have any real aggression towards her catch. I've been catching upto 5 each trip as to no push her but want to up her runs. My question am I being to fussy and will she harden up after her she comes into season. Keen to hear if anybody has had a bitch having a season making a big impact on them. Thanks in advance
  14. Does anyone give a treat for there dog retrieving it's catch on the lamp or rely on giving good praise
  15. Vet wrap whole tail with a hair roller on end of tail will keep air flow. Wound powder each day
  16. What's people opinions on using food as a treat, maybe offer a piece of chicken as a reward then hopefully it will carry on onto field
  17. Yes she retrieved once straight to me but not since
  18. I've always taken 1 dog lamping. I'm trying to ask advice on getting the dog to carry better and be more possesive of the rabbit. Yeah she's only had 15 rabbits but I'm trying to get her sorted before she's into a bad habit.
  19. I've tried with lamp on and off. When on I've left it shining on to floor around me not to dazzle dog
  20. Does anyone work 2 dogs on the lamp and retrieve successfully
