Lamping 2 dogs

[bullmastiff 615]

Done it several times when I was looking after a mates dog for him. Don't have the time or large enough permission to lamp two dogs seperately so used to take them both out together and alternate the runs.

I used to tie a dog lead round my waist and clip one dog to that then have the other on the slip. Both were 60-70lb Bullcrosses but couldn't get the leverage to drag me about much whilst one was running.

As for the retrieving, a quiet 'oi' and a tug on the lead was enough to stop Tess from trying to snatch but when my mates dog used to try and snatch quarry from Tess I had to slap him on the arse to stop him. He was a quick learner and never really tried it much after that. (unless it was still squealing!)

 

Only time any sort of slight dominance would show between the two of them was when they were run together. They work really well together and have rarely missed anything we slipped them on together.

Once quarry was dead the teamwork would end and my mates dog would 'claim it' as his by standing over it until someone got there then it was all wagging tails again. Tess never seems to mind as she's never been a particularly dominant dog and besides all the funs gone from dead quarry!

Normally lamp with a friend run for run no slipping two dogs on a bunny.yes dish washers hand hahaha In your DVD chalkwarren with Simon it's your young dog and then the old bitch being the dominant one and that's what I dislike about two dogs, no disrespect to you. how did that young bitch come on?

i would have to admire any man that could walk two dogs off slip and give the command to each individual at any given time,how many times you had quarry run up the beam toward you,through your legs even,other dog just gonna stand and watch it go by not saying it cant be done im sure it can but id certainly like to see it

lads i put a vid up a few mths ago it was not on the lamp it was day time

my old bitch off the leader and my bitch was just a pup at the time there

was a big rabbit in the middle of the field let the pup run up to it and the

old bitch to stand till the pup got on it then tell the old bitch to go

but on the lamp if a dog was on a rabbit i dont think i could stop her

Never seen the need for leads.Day or night.

Your very good if you can have 2 dogs of the lead and still only lamp one at a time,

 

Did it for about ten years.Just a matter of training the first dog.Then bringing in a pup.

just curious were they dogs or bitches just thinking that a couple of bitches would be easier to train this way as dogs can get competive ive found alot more than bitches Edited July 6, 2012 by nighteyes

Ye agree should would of learnt far more hunting solo she's a beautiful looking hound.When I go ferreting with some friends they always want to bring there dogs some never seen a ferret I would rather miss a days ferreting than do that.

In my expierance no matter how well trained a dog is on its own throw in another dog and one aint going to watch another catch the rabbit and stand still,What happens the rabbit runs bettween the lampers feet the dog not running and of the slip looks the other way Dont think so.You would want robots not dogs.If your doing it stick up a video i would love to see.

 

Maybe i just expected more from a dog.You can get one to stand and watch the other chase.Only take a bit of time and effort.

i am sure its possible to do . and maybe easier with a bit of sheep dog in the mix .i would not have a chance in hell of doing it with my salukis . the compertition factor would kick in ..

Not being big headed.Never found it hard to train dogs.Only one in four of the dogs i had running of the lead had a bit of collie.The rest .Lurcher x Lurcher.
