First Day

[rabbit demon 302]

 

had the pup out on tuesday for a few hours took my lassie with me and headed out to a permission to get the pup started. her first time out and she doesnt really know whats going on so she has a wee lie down on top of the burrow. nice one dug.

 

 

we walked for miles and were nearly 2 hours before we got a mark which would have been missed if the wee lurcher wasnt there. the pup was showing interest too.

 

 

could only see one hole as the grass was knee high and because of the lack of rabbits due to mixy the place is overgrown now. so put the net over the hole and threw in the ferret. 30 seconds later there was a bolt from a hole a few feet away and the beddy whippet picked it befoer it got to its feet. one. had a good day out but numbers wise the day was shocking considering i used take up to 17 rabbits every trip out. thankfully i have some new permissions this year.

All good experience for the pup

She has an idea what shes looking for now and she will pick up marking quicker as shes got the other dog to teach her. Getting used to livestock too. Had to bark at the sheep for 5 minutes. I told her to quit it and she never looked at them the rest of the day. So far so good. It all takes time.

It nice getting out but its still early and a bit hot unless its horse paddocks i try to wait till the end of the month

It be too hot for the lurcher catching multiple bolters but one or two wouldnt do her no harm. We got a cool breeze where we were and a few light showers so it was just a nice day. Stinging nettles get to the dog and me more at this time of year.

In the warmer months I clip the hair of my bitch, Helps a lot to keep her cooler. As mentioned just good to be out and about. Enjoy!

Nice beddy whippet

[rabbit demon 302]

Thanks troyboy. She turned out a really good dog for lamping and ferreting and is game as. 21 tts and seriously head strong at times. Initially got her just to help out ferreting.
