matt1979 766 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I would be worried if they prefer what I have to the sniff of bunny but each to their own. But get your point about using treats for recall, enjoy your pups. I have a 9 month olds SLT pup coming on at the minute sirloin steak wouldn't get her off scent and am happy with that. Been the same since 3 month old, all dogs are different though enjoy the fun you must have with 4 pups cheers Quote Link to post

matt1979 766 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 No not as a rule, but obviously occasionally foxes crop up when bushing for rabbits. Recall in a 6 month pup and 12 month youngster are a different ball game in my experience just got to be consistent I suppose. None of the dogs I work with hunt up far but if the scent is fresh then I would expect them to follow it, with bunnies this isn't generally far certainly not in the ground I hunt anyway cheers Quote Link to post

matt1979 766 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I work mainly my uncles farm large arable and cattle farm flat land few woodland areas and large hedgerows. 1 sporting lucas, 1 bed x grey lurcher, 2 border terriers, 1 dodgy Russell and occasionally 1 schnauzer ( believe it or not he isn't too bad). The lucas is mine the rest others but the work together regularly and do a far job. I choose I lucas because I grew up with rough coated Russell types and the always did a good job alongside lurchers and after research the SLT seemed to suit my needs. On top of this I liked the look if them in truth and I have to live with it , so far do good at. 9 months she has exceeded my expectations and those I hunt with who know more than me atb Quote Link to post
