A WEE WALK OUT

[tote 870]

Took Amy out as usual this afternoon for a walk round a couple of fields.

I took the rabbit skin dummy with me as there's still a fair way to go with

her retrieving training.After giving her 2 retrieves which went reasonable

we crossed the road into another field. Half way down a bank I spotted a

mixy rabbit,I let amy find it for herself.Eventually she saw it and after a few quick turns she had it

 

After mouthing it through excitment she carried it back to within 5 yards then dropped it.We went back to the top of the bank not expecting to see any more rabbits,

due to the noise I was making as I encouraged her to retrieve the rabbit.But down

on the flat at the bottom of the bank about 60 yards away sat another mixy rabbit.

 

Again I let her see it for herself when she did she ran straight towards it and lifted

it out of it's seat.I got a repeat of the first retreive,as she carried it 55 yards and

stopped short of me again.

 

Now I know it's only 2 mixy rabbits so usually that would be no big deal,But Amy

is only 8 months old and a pup has got to be started gently.Usually I would wait

a bit longer but I'm not one to pass up an ideal opertunity to give the pup some

confidence.Hopefully there will be plenty more to follow

I'll keep an eye on your progress, doing really well I'd say. My pup Lily is coming along fine, we're three months behind in age, so it'll be a good bit of info and comparison to Amy.

 

Well done, you must be proud Tote .........Al
