chilly 59 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 went out for a quick walk out with the dogs tonight not hunting just stretch their legs , with a friend and his mastiff , it is partially lit where we went near a compound , the dogs were off the leads and my young lurcher went off in front and around a corner , i heard a clatter and a squeak, my first thoughts were that she had hit a fence or somthing then she comes bounding around the corner a good 200 yards away with a bunny in her mouth which was then squeaking like mad lol ive been having problems latly with her retrieve which i have been spending alot of time working on the last 2 weeks and she has been improving a little, any way in she comes with this rabbit heading straight to me and im landed , as she gets to within 3 foot of me my other dog which i hadnt had time to get back on the lead runns at her for the rabbit and she runs off , i was furious lol screamed at my other dog and got her back on the lead and the lurcher brought the rabbit back again then but only to about 9ft away but not a complete disaster at least as my other dog who is a pet chasing her around with that rabbit would have undone allot of my work , any way i dispatched the rabbit and give it back to her to hold again so as not to remove it from her 2 quickly and she done a little circle with it and brought back to me so i was happy at this point lol vary un expected but happy none the less Quote Link to post

chilly 59 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Yea I hope so mate , when training her it's norm on her own but have started taking my other dog now (pet) and keeping her on the lead so she will retrieve with other dogs , in theory any way lol, but she will deff be run alone so as not to f**k it up , it just all caught me a little off gard lol , I've been holding off working her a little as the last to she has coaght she didn't retrieve and I wanted to get this sorted before really getting her going , but this has given a little more confidence in her Quote Link to post
