poacher3161 1,766 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Alan , at a guess I'ld say she's around 19 1/2 " with plenty of knuckle to grow out. as for the last comment, where i go the bitch goes and who am i to complain if she hunts up and catches a young rabbit....... the good ones tend to shine early. Cracking bitch i agree with your comments get them out and about on the land at a young age makes them more sensible to their surroundings [bANNED TEXT] fully grown atb dell Quote Link to post

As for "the good ones tend to shine early" That is a silly thing to say, and not always true(even fencehopper wouldnt be able to argue with that).. I have seen dogs not reacting at 12 mths and even 18 mths not show much interest. All have turned out top class workers mate.... time will tell mate. nothing wrong with a man being proud of his pup Didnt say there was at all Alan.... just a daft statement... Quote Link to post

brianL84 11 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 stupid in my opinion it wont be great when the bitch misses a few and she will believe me and you have a barking b*****d on your hands . Quote Link to post

mattyg 1,862 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 that pup looks great!!!!! as for "the good shine early" my eldest dog is 7 in feb and im still waiting! and the other one aint up to much either! that pup looks v nice though!!!!!!! Quote Link to post
lawrence 657 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 cheers for the comments lads. i well aware of the dangers of giving a pup to much to early but thats not the case here, she caught a maxy rabbit at 4 1/2 months while on excerise and another last half grown one while scouting a bit of new permission last week, both were taken of her own bat, nothing wrong with that and she was well praised for it, the pup sits, stays, retrieves, is steady with livestock, including cats and ferrets and is crossing streams, fences and gates, as Fencehopper says she a pup to be pround of. runfor your life, everyone is entitled to an opinion mate and fair enough my statement about them shining young is a bit of a generalisation but i wouldn't say daft as its based on my own experiences and for me has more than a hint of truth about it, atb Lawrence. another snap of the pup stripped down.
