minzy 16 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I have a whippet bitch 14 months mostly ferreting started with a few dropped rabbits and holding netted rabbits she's also had a couple that slipped the nets all retrieved live worked long net yesterday for first time chased two rabbits into nets and held. All good but on lamp her catch rate isn't very good runs beam come back once lamp is of and two beeps on dog whistle she has only had two or three rabbits on lamp. At first she was over shooting she now has started to approach a bit slower tryin to anticipate the bunnies run so hopefully get to learn her trade in time nice one mate a few people are running whippets now day good luck Cheers mate hope she cracks the lamp she will mate just take your time with her it will come Quote Link to post
