mikeball 108 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I allways use a rabbit/hare skin I think it gets them used to bringing fur back to you Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I've never bothered mate, solid retrieving training is key, with a dummy. Though if you want to wrap one round a dummy for retrieving work I don't see any problems with it. Just don't use it for tug of war type games, which you shouldn't do in the first place, with anything... Quote Link to post

Ferretboys1 1 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 That would be a good thing to do if you plan on catching rabbits .. I use a old sock with corn in and sow the skin to it with a couple of meters or rope to pull it with or use a old coke bottle ( the small one's and put corn in it and sow the rabbit skin around that). the dogs will have plenty of fun with it..
