which way

Everyone says stock breaking etc a lot of people don't have cattle on there land

 

Cattle sheep pigs chickens even pheasants. What would you say to someone who took you on there land and your dog went and killed a sheep ? Or flushed all the pheasants out of a wood on shooting land ?

 

If my dog flushed all the pheasents out the wood, and DIDENT catch one.............. well, i would not be a happy chappy......... one of the main things a lurcher should do IMO is catch fur AND feather.

 

Agree but your dog should know when its acceptable and when its not. If im on shooting land ferreting and the keeper come to see how im getting on and my dog catches a bird infront of him bye bye permission ....

 

 

Might be ok for some mate but just remember them birds are a keepers livelyhood. You flushing them birds from woods and covercrop is just losing them money.

 

I'd cry. After a slapped him silly

wouldnt even think of entering it to the lamp till you have its basic training sorted after thats done then stock breaking , when dog is 100% round stock and is trained to a reasonable standard do the above

wouldnt you say stock breaking first?

no, how can you stock break a dog if it has no basic training???

Once all of the previously mentioned stuff is done.

 

In my opinion i'd try something like this -

 

First things first, you need to get it spotting on the lamp, walk up some bunnys, even if its not going to be a run, get the dog into the idea that the spot, lights up stuff he wants to see.

 

Then find the perfect bunny, sat out on a good windy, drizzly night, away from home, ideally in a well fenced field. Walk up on it, get between it and home, hold the spot on it, pull the dogs head up if you have to, hiss, whatever it takes to get the dog fixed on the rabbit, walk up as close as you can, and when (if) it starts to run, let go of the slip and keep the spot on the bunny, if it gets close to the fence (or hedge) shake / flicker the beam, by rocking / shaking the lamp.

 

The rest is up to the dog

thats the way its done.
