Couple Of Hours With Pup.

[Gareth12 225]

Took my 6 month old bull x whippet pup out for a couple of hours on her own this morning. Decided to walk along a riverbank not far from where I live. It's very heavy cover with a small path running along the bank through the middle . There normally plenty of squirrels and a few rabbits but as the cover is so tight there was never gonna be chance the pup getting an unwanted course. The pup settled down after about 20 mins of going mad, she settled down and starting working the cover a little, getting her nose down and darting in and out of the bushes.

Just after I turned to go back home, the pup shot into a bush, all of a sudden up shot a pheasant, the pup jumped up and missed it by an inch... From that moment on the pup was like a spaniel working the cover fantastically. She pit up a couple of rabbits and a squirrel on the way home, didn't catch but I was chuffed with the way the penny just seemed to drop. Small step I know but was delighted with the way she was acting.

Thanks for comments. Out again this morning and she caught her first rat, again near the river. She disapeered into the bushes for a minute, when she came back out there was a tail hanging from her mouth...he retrieve went out the window and she stayed about 10 feet from me carrying a bloody rat around.
