Old Dog teaches youngster new tricks

[Guest SJM]

After a week of the flu and shuffling about the house like Darth Vader I decided to get myself out on the hill with my pup and her mother today. Just a bit of general education to bring her along. Lessons today inlcuded :

 

Jumping various obstacles

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marking inhabited warrens

 

 

 

Recall

 

 

Putting rabbits out and chasing them

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Retreiving the catch back to hand

 

 

 

 

The end result

 

 

And last but not least, one of the most important skills in a working lurcher . . . .

great pics looks like a good day,how old is the pup?

[Guest SJM]

6 months, nearly the size of her mother allready, but sadly nowhere near as fast as her mother was at that age I am going to leave her til Christmas and try her on the whiteys, give her a couple of easy slips in with her mother and see how she gets on at retreiving them

Just great! Love to see the mothers teaching their pups.

 

Just gotta say, one of the quickest, most devestating catch dogs I ever had both on fen hares and daytime rabbits and lamped rabbits was as slow as a coach until he hit 18 months old. He had a fair bit of Saluki in him and I despaired of him ever being fast enough for anything. Stamina he had by the bucketful from the start, but the speed came later: all is not yet lost! Quite a few Saluki types are like this: look as though they couldn't catch a cold as pups, but its bunny beware once they've matured a bit.
