Too much of nothing?

[Daniel cain 42,793]

Tried my bitch at 10 months old lamping for the first time...she did well tbf...she didn't have another go for probably 6 months....if I'm honest she was  not really fully matured imo until she just turned 3...now she knows the craic and what's expected of her in the day and on the lamp,don't be in a rush with em,they are all different,how's she bred? My bitch was from 2 half X's ,big old unit so didn't rush her along like previous dogs at 10 months old she looked ready for most things....

If a dog needs a dropper then it ain’t worth feeding. What a load of bollix. 
 

Just net holes and let it grab them in the purse nets. 

Aye because that's going to learn a dog how to catch a fleeing rabbit isn't it? 

If he's wanting it to experience the feel of mouthing them then fair enough.

She mainly saluki x grey but other bits back in the line I believe. General advice seems to be get her out when we are ferreting so am gonna give her a break from the lamp and get her out with the ferrets. Hopefully get her grabbing them in the nets so she at least shoukd figure out what we are trying to do

Any dog worth feeding will catch a rabbit fair and square. The only people I heard of dropping are people I stay away from. 

There's always the last option.

And I agree, if your dog can't catch a rabbit at some point then it ain't worth  feeding. 

I know not all dogs are the same with the same opportunity but at 10 month old many are well on their way.

If you've got ferrets take her ferreting, bolt em for her. 

If she still fails to catch net one up and release the thing further away from the hedge. 

If it still fails take a time out or if you're impatient knock it over the head.

For fuk sake don't mention dropping rabbits on here llf lol

Don't want to upset the apprentice antis do we.

Tbf I just don't know why you would need to if you have a lamp and ferrets. 

The dogs not called Katchum by any chance is it?

I'm sure everytime I comment on a thread or create a thread it's turns into a war of words between some folk. 

Thanks to you all that dropped some advice on here I shall as always take it in and continue on this experience with my pup.

Now please feel free to continue ribbing/slating or just generally hating on each other as it provides me with something interesting to read whilst I'm supposed to be working.

I'm sorry fella, I can't shake this stalker off, keeps on at me with the personal messages cos he's having the same problems as you, difference is this has been going on for decades. 

I don't know how to tell him that it's the retard holding the lead and not the dog. 

Just keep at it lad, if you're lamping and ferreting it's only a matter of time before it comes together.

It’s genuinely nowt against you, I just can’t bite me lip when folk with no dogs that don’t hunt try tell folk how to do stuff, an they doing it wrong. Keep at it, it will happen, an if your ever up this way with your dog drop me a message an I’ll sort out a few rabbits for it to catch

I have no idea where "up this way" is but I'll hold you to that

I didnt believe it was anything against me, but I'm pretty sure the last time you were involved with a thread I commented on the lad upped and left

You know the saying you can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink. We'll that goes for man an dog too ffs. Why do posts always end up like this more about who knows best.. Let him learn by his mistakes we've all been there.

I didnt think the rabbits local to me had been lamped at all, but possibly mistaken, majority turn and run as soon as the low light even goes near them so definitely more clued up than I anticipated 

It's you that's shyed um up your at them every night
