Bolting a few for the ACD cross.

[chartpolski 20,379]

Had an invite up to the Scottish hills from Northernlite to bolt a few rabbits with the ferrets to his young ACD cross.

Couple of hours travel and we met up around 7 am and were on the hills by 7:30.

I took my 5 1/2 month old deer/grey along just for the education and experience, those hill are no place to be running a leggy, heavy young pup, but she had a good walk, seen some sheep, no drama, and got a bit fur in her mouth.

The ACD x is a joy to watch, only young herself, but very sharp around the holes, marks well, catches more than she misses, and retrieves well.

A good day out; pup got some experience, watched a good dog workin, good craic, and a couple of rabbits for the pot !

Cheers.

Weather was perfect, cool, but not cold, light breeze, no midges, no heavy rain.

All part of the learning process for a working dog, even though it won't be her game

Cheers.

What Deerhound blood does your pup have mate, I used to run a first cross out of Thorn (shenval Isidore) in the mid 90's always liked them he was 30 TTS and had eyes like a great white shark, the black dog used to look right through you lol
