We out on Sunday past again and had 2 digs to a mates dogs so all going well so far.

Have been out 4 or 5 times over the last 3 weeks out early and dig one or two and home before it gets to warm. All the pups have been out and pegged out so hopefully get something handy for them over the next few weeks

That's what its all about for me starting young dogs nothing more rewarding than seeing a youngster start after rearing it up until its fit for off best of luck With them shanag and I hope they do the business for you.
