milliken 831 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) well last night seen me enter my young fallswater pup on the lamp he has had one rabbit all ready before last night and a couple of birds but this was to be his true test with prince still in recovery and after entering my mates pup the night before i thought it was time to enter hunter i only tened to give him a couple of run but you know high it goes so here the story goes ....... 11.30 seen me head out the door with lamp and hunter on his lead telling my partner that i would be a hour witch is what i tell her most nights i go out but as she knows its never only a hour there was a nice wind blowing in my face witch was what we both need to put the odds slightly in are favor it was near 12 by the time we entered the first field slowly i climbed over the gate but hunter had other ideas and ratteled the gate with such a bang the first rabbit we seen was heading for home 40yrds in front of us by now hunter was up on his back so of he went like a steam train i would like to of said a rocket but that was not the case as he really has not found his running legs yet but never the less he was on it turn for turn then i thought there was a bloody terrier running with him. arh arh frig this i thought was this him opening up by now the rabbit was heading right for me with hunter right on its heels i give him a helping hand and give the rabbit a we clip to put it of it tracks and strike he had it i really do belive in doing every thing you can to help a young pup with its entering with all sporting rights going out the window when i have pups there was no retrive but never the less he got his first catch on the lamp on his first night out and first run at that acoss the road we went to another small field that all way has a few in it there was a squatter we walked up slowly with hunter doing a dance on the ended of his lead the rabbit losted it nerve and broke cover 15 feet in front of us hunt hard on its tail the rabbit took him all over this small field they once again the rabbit came fly down the middle of the field right past me the next i knew way the pain i felt at the back of my leg with hunter knocking me of my feet but carried on in hot prosuit up i jump in time to get the lamp back on the rabbit when it entered the hedge with the dog crahing in on top of it squeek i knew that was number 2 in bag i tryed and tryed to get a retrive but with know luck this dog in my eyes is trained to a good standered but it all went out the window by now i was over the moon and really should of went home more than happy but anyone that knows me will know rabbit fever sets in and thats it hunter missed to after this but really wass un lucky on both smashing the hedge to bits when they got there and coming right back every time once again i crossed the road to a bit of permmision that i had keep back for entering him i have not been on this landed since september so was exspecting a lot of squatters i was not to be disapointed rubys lite up every where with hunter missing a few more before putting another in the bag after another good run with the rabbit really not knowing where it was going only this time to my suprize it was retrived right to handed the next 4 rabbits where also brought right back to hand all where squatters and not really taxing runs he did miss a few in bettween but to tell you the truth i was that over the moon i dont really remember much about the run a truely great night in my eyes i could not of dreamed of a better start for this young dog he will not even see another rabbit till september will get pic up ended the night with 7 rabbits Edited February 25, 2009 by milliken Quote Link to post
