Try her on the lamp, slip on a few rabbits in a more open field. If shes any good then maybe lamp something bigger. Have you any better photos of her? Quote Link to post

reddog70 236 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 should pic up a few rabbits on the lamp i have a leggy terrier that does quite well and carries on into the hedges after chasing on the lamp...prob better luck starting early season on uneducated young rabbits and squatters..good luck Quote Link to post
whippet 99 2,613 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 my terriers catch a few on the lamp and thats when i just take them 4 a walk at nite. the time it is most likely 2 catch is when the quarry runs straight for the lamp and the closer it gets the more disorenetated it becomes and usually squats and the terriers home in. u here so many things but its definatly worth a try! good luck Quote Link to post
