couple of hours out with 15kg wellies and RM.

will leave her now until mid january time, then thats the plan. she more than capaple of catching on her own

[Rake aboot 4,936]

It will work out better letting her have her own slips, Good luck with her, I`m keen to see her again as she was a smart pup.

Great read that, well done guys. Nothing better than when a pup clicks. Surprised your head fitted in the van on the way home

 

He got in the van nae bother but he had tae sleep wae his jumper oan as he couldnae get the c*nt ower his heid.

 

Well done wae the rabbits lads.

Well done Lee, feels good when the pup clicks,

 

One thing though. Be carefull about running both dogs at the same time, that can lead to a few issues,, like retrieval etc,

 

Also, watch that the dog doesn`t get an injury running with no experience with an older heavier dog.

 

Let the dog watch, but then let it have it`s own slips.

That's good advice, never been a fan of running dogs doubled up especially on the beam.

[Rake aboot 4,936]

Tote, it can be a dangerous game with experienced dogs, but with a pup you have to be carefull.

 

Put it this way. I run my dog with Kittles whippet, can you imagine the carnage if they collided, We are very strict about keeping them seperate.

 

I understand though, the temptation is massive when they are young and you want them to catch soo badly ! lol.

 

That pup of Lees looks good though, looks like it will make a nice sturdy dog.

Just slipped them twice together the first was more of mistake I thought I was getting the slip next thing the 2 dogs were off, the other was in long grass I knew my pitch had seen it and just wanted her to point the pup in the right direction, I'm all for single slips but it was to help get the pup in on a bit action, not that she's going to need help in the future,

[B.P.R 2,798]

advice taken lads and it was only the twice theu got slipped together. second time was to put her onto the rabbit as she hadnt seen it.

 

o understand what you are saying though.

 

another thonf was my pups timidness when running with another dog, whether it be out ferreting or just walking. since the first time we had her out she has grown on confidence when running with ross' dog.

 

i appreciate the advice, ross knows a fair bit and is keeping me right.

[Rake aboot 4,936]

Good man.

 

It happened to me on Mon night, accidentaly let two dogs off, so it`s easy done, but feck me yer hearts in yer mooth sometimes ! lol.

 

Just look at the carnage at the show lurcher races ! :laugh:

[RossM 8,149]

Aye touch wood, never had a bad yin with collisions, a few close calls but that's it, I prefer a slip each, shots about, but I have no qualms about slipping a youngster with an older dog it's to bring it on abit "IF" the situations correct, always slipped in unison, never slipped once the course is in full flow or head on,

[tote 870]

Each to there own mate but I've never seen any value in slipping a youngster with an older dog,

too many negatives in it for me. But like I say each man has his own way.
