hotdog 8 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 just been out for an hour to put my new lamp to the test, got a blazerlite lamp and it worked a treat! sasha had three slips with three catches, my only concern with sasha is she will not retreive, she catches runs round a bit and then drops her catch and stands over it, this is only her fourth trip on the lamp and is only 14 months old so im hoping this will get better, any advice on this matter would be helpfull. overall im well pleased with her!

blackpack 70 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 agree with Frank some dogs just dont retrieve Quote Link to post
hotdog 8 Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 she will retreive every thing else but the rabbits! im not sure she ever will and like you said its not the end of the world, she is the business in every other way, she lives in doors and is part of the family and is gentle and calm but in the field she has the speed and stamina that does the job so i really cant ask for much more and she is still only just starting.
