3 bagged

[harryshounds 789]

got 3, more got away, few good slips, near misses and couple of "how'd they miss that?"s.....

but considering we'd a young inexperienced bitch and a middle aged cripple doing the chasing we was happy enough.

Wish I’d even seen 3 rabbits last night

Only farm I have with any numbers on it. Most of the local populations been decimated by RHD. Good lamping is hard to find. We got a good few slips but other nights I've been out locally and got one maybe.

how it bred? i can see collie in it, looks bit like a 1/4 collie 3/4 grey from pic,, if it his there good x , or colliex bullx 3/4 grey another good x.

Whippet/bull x collie/hound but I'm not sure of the % in the breeding....was potentially a great dog but s bad leg break in his second full season ment he's never been at his best.

But he does me just fine. He's a rabbit rat dog bit of mooching and odd lamp.

Not about the size of the bag mate quality over quantity along as your enjoying yourself n happy with dogs performance that's most important..

True dodger,I remember one night lamping a young whippet slip after slip she never missed a rabbit but failed to carry back, as I carryed a big bag of rabbits back up the hills I was so disappointed she never brought any back to me ,her strike was excellent taken most out of the seat,I got back to the trailer dropped the rabbits off and thought I would head back out for a couple more runs ,I slipped the bitch,  once again she caught the rabbit ,this time I knocked the beam off and before I knew it she was back to hand ,the next slip same again only on retrieve she tryed to put the rabbit down in front of me and yes she learnt the hard way that if she drops it she will have to run even harder to catch again , luckily enough she got back to it and fetched it back looking up at me she waited for to take the prize, she took plenty rabbits that night but the quality of the last 2 ment more to me than a big bag, atb bobza
