i was under the impression that only the rabbit family tree could catch mixy and im sure a hare comes under the deer side of things may be wrong though -ive never saw a hare with mixy

the cloud cover was ok last night with a few spots of rain so i decided to go for a bit of a mooch with koda and rifle in the hope of a few maggies just to give the pup a bit of the real thing in his mouth as it must get boring retrieving the tennis ball and canvas dummy each day .i arrived at a nice copse that always holds woodies and it didnt take long to find a few roosting together so after giving koda the sit command i dropped a woody sending the rest into flight i retrieved the bird and koda remained rock steady ,we walked on and koda spooked a few magpies wich turned out ok for m

i think with this cross there would be little or no wastage inthe litter i once put a very heavy 1st x collie greyhound over a 1st x collie whippet and they all turned out class workers in the rabbitting field /ferreting /ratting i dont thinkthey were tested on bigger stuff so cant comment -billy

well i went out today with koda in tow and a mate with his shot gun we didnt go out to shoot any thing in particular just a tester for koda really as he hasnt heard one go off yet well im pleased to say he never flinched at the sound in fact he went in search of a shot bird so he thought so another hurdle cleared -well chuffed

hope not mate as next door neighbour would like nothing better than to report a "plague" of rats due to the "hunter" [me] bringing rabbits pigeons etc home [he,s a prick ]

drove to my mates yesterday [keeper] took the pup along along with the rapid 7 and it wasnt long before the pup had put a squirrel up a tree it kept out of sight on the other side of the tree i found by sending the dog on with the "back" command he ended up in the squirrels view which then clambered around to my side! thwack! down it comes i command the pup to sit and stay which enables me to make sure squirrel is dead i walked about 20 yds and sent koda "back" to retrieve it which he has mastered perfectly ,i shot another one later on which i thought i had lost but koda found it was wedged
