hunting daytime

[captain2010 2,806]

hi just wondering what you lads think,my brother got a nice little dog collie cross x,I went out walking with her today through a rush field and a lot of burrows,the dog just sticks it nose to the ground and of she goes,she is rising them but rushes to big to catch,and when he got her,he put the ferret in to few burrows and she was sticking her head in to the burrows,are you better to leave her in the slip,or let her learn of the lead,what you'd think she is only 15 months old nice little dog to

[captain2010 2,806]

Anyone

[percho50 46]

a young dog will start doing that,just get him sitting and staying and watching the burrows,instead of sticking his head down out,but a young dog will get used to it most of the lads on here will no better

[captain2010 2,806]

yeah lad thought that but he was meant to be brill little ferret dog he wS thinking this dog was going to be doing every thing right but since the dog is hunting up during the day,will she do the sMe on the lamp and suppose the more she gets out ferritin. The better she may get if he get s her to wait at the burrows and look cause if she sticks her head down burrows and run around them the rabbits won't bolt what do you people think would be glad to hear from ye thanks for info

ye mate bin ad off pal,no one gets rid off a gud dog!!do the best you can with it should come [bANNED TEXT] in the end but who am i just a young un tryin to get in the game

[captain2010 2,806]

ah yeah mate she will be alright I am sure,if he can just keep her away from the burrows and just sit and wait instead of putting her head into the burrows,but she kept going back to one burrow,and we were waiting and waiting for the ferret,but that burrow she keep going to was the one the ferret was at,I just hope she comes right for him for what he payed

Whats the recall like?

 

I wouldnt mind the dog hunting and putting rabbits to ground.

 

I wouldnt mind him showing an interest in the holes prior to ferreting (marking)

 

Make him aware that sticking is head in a rabbit hole after nets have been put on and ferret entered is not what is needed

 

I let my dogs roam around freely as long as they dont touch the nets.

 

Dont worry about the lamping unless you know the recall is very good.If it isnt then make it a priority.

 

Sounds a very keen if somewhat head strong dog.

[captain2010 2,806]

yeah mate she is a very keen dog,will try her on the lamp soon,she will beat the field no bother,maybe that's why she was sticking her head down the hole she was marking,cause keep going back to same hole,her recall not great when she is hunting up sure she will come around but

[Mick C. 229]

Personally i wouldnt lamp her yet unless the recall is good.

 

Whats she like at coming back when just exercising her (no rabbit scent)

[baw 4,360]

Sounds like a good wee dog to me mate. If thats your only gripes, your doing well. The dog should show an interest in the burrows, a f*****g rabbit is hiding in there, the smell must be lovely to them lol. I'd be more worried if it didn't to be honest. Use the summer to work on basic training and get ready for the action next season

[captain2010 2,806]

Her recall is a1 when no rabbit scent around,just hard to get back when she is beating the field,going to keep on training her,I'd say she will come good hopefully anyway,think we are going out tonight on the lamp see how she gets on

[Mick C. 229]

Good luck

 

Sounds like your keen.

 

Dont be to dissappointed if it doesnt go to plan.

 

The advice is there if you need a plan b.

 

Finally dont loose your patience with the dog
