abley 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Took my young patterdale out in an area heavily populated with rabbits but she wouldn't move on from any warren she found. she'd just bounce from one hole to the next until i put her back on the lead and moved her on. the same happened everytime i let her back off. she was so keen with her nose she didnt notice rabbits 20 yards away. any advice or is this fairly typical. am i stupid to try to get her flushing rabbits before i even have a lurcher. please dont take the piss too much cheers Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Sound's like she's marking the holes. Get yourself a ferret & some nets. Quote Link to post

Get yourself a ferret & some nets. could be. some of the holes she was at i had actually seen rabbits disappear into them. ferrets aren't an option unfortunately. the wife wouldn't look after them when im away for work.
