KittleRox 2,147 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Just back in from a wee shine local,my new lamp arrived the day so took a wee trip with the pup on her own. I had been taking her oot with the mates dogs to watch and get some easy runs but to be honest it wasn,t doing her any favours,when watching the mates dogs she was doing somersaults on the lead and when she did get a run she was opening up Anyway went oot tonight and had about 6 runs total,first one she ran down the beam and jumped on it with her feet before it moved right away I thought "mixi" which proved to be the case,all experience though,next one she caught was in a stubble field after quite a long run with a few twists and turns,healthy this time,in the bag she had another run in the same field,much the same as the mixi she run down the beam but this time she struck at it with her teeth while still in its seat,in my mind it was already in the bag but somehow she missed although she never caught this one I was still chuffed with what I had seen. All in all she,s coming along not too bad,she,s running the beam reasonably well,recalls excellent,have to work on retrieving though,not very good,most importantly though apart from one little whimper at the beginning of the night she never made a sound Quote Link to post
