6 For The Youngster...

Nipped out tonight for the last night of the season, a bit later on than I would like but I haven't done a lot of lamping this season with working nights. Been mostly daytime mooching and bushing.

 

I just took my red bitch, she's 14 months now and has been on the lamp 3/4 times. She's never followed the beam before but she was definitely getting the hang of it tonight. Gave her a few decent slips.

 

Retrieving has always been non existent but she retrieved 2 to my hand tonight. The other 4 she stood a few feet away.

 

She only missed 2 from 8 runs so I can't complain. She's really keen for the job, faster than she looks and got a brilliant strike on her. Looking forward to next season now...

Nice one Penda. I had wrapped up myself really but I was off work, weather was ideal and the moon was down so we went for a wander.

 

Normally struggle to get near anything this late in the season around here.

The young dog as done well Gaz only missing 2 out of 8. The few lurchers I have seen run with wheaton in them have been a lot faster than they look, atb for the summer.

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Cheers Trev. The only other wheaten cross I've seen work is her Sire and he could shift for his size. I believe the brother to my bitch is doing really well and can run too, he's made a fair lump, similar build to my bitch but 27".

Nice going. IMO it don't matter what time it is for the odd rabbits, if u got perm u can't just not turn up if they ask u. Or young dogs, they need bringing on regardless. I got asked other night only taking 2 rabbits off it, but he doesn't know that.
