martnmagik 68 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 well last night was my pups first time out on the lamp, i took her up to meet a couple of good mates to show her the ropes on the lamp after a quick natter and a brew we set off to the feilds, 5 minutes later bunny number 1 was in the beam and off went molly the old dog, the pup was looking with sharp interest and wanted to join but i held her back and after another sharp turn the rabbit made its escape so on we go, rabbit number 2 in the beam and off goes molly, this time i let my pup run a few seconds later after she shows interest towards what was going on and then disaster out comes the puppyish side to her and she just wants to play CHASE ME with the older dog . so on we mooch and after a couple more disaterous runs molly picks up her first and only bunny of the session and we decide to call it a night. so with molly and tom on there way home to bed and myself and rob feeling pretty deflated by the events we had just witnessed (me more so than rob as its my pup) we drove in silence! then rob asks DO YOU FANCY A LOOK WITH JUST MAGIK? so after a quick thought i reply WHY NOT JUST A COUPLE OF EASY RUNS. so we pull up at the other permission. once in the first feild something didnt seem right! the pup was alert, watching the beam like a hawk then bingo a squater sitting right out away from the hedge. so i walk forward with the lamp still on then as it gets up the pup strains on the slip so i release her with crossed fingers that she dosnt want to play. and WOW she ran it like a dog that had been in the game for years. after a few turns she makes a cracking strike and the rabbit lets out a squeal as she retreives it LIVE TO HAND! fook me i thought as i praised her i hope this isnt a one off. then again we spot our target but unfortunatly this wasnt to be as it found the hedge. any way after a couple more runs i thought enough is enough for one night after taking 3 rabbits for 5 runs all in all im really happy with the way she performed, but find it strange how she just clicked and switched on after the other dog had gone, but for a first time out i couldnt be more happy. atb mart Quote Link to post
