Another one of Totty's offspring, out of Keith Day's 'Bramble'. She's very fast and extremely intelligent. Couldn't ask for a better dog. :))

Hi sparky.....I know some people are keen on taking feather, and you have had other dogs, so you know what you are doing (each to their own, etc.)...BUT iI would advice against encouraging him to take birds, especially at an early age....Get him fiixed on the bunnies and hares....Nobody needs to hunt for food (that's what Tescos is for) and so it's sport I'd be looking for with the pup....Taking ducks is an embarrasment at the best of times, but if there is a field full of feeding bunnies with a pair of ducks sat in a puddle in the middle, the last thing you want is the pup picking up the "sitting ducks" instead of giving a good run after a rabbit...Mine don't take pheasant and partridge for several reasons...number one the keepers don't like it, it's not a good way to get myself any permission, and number two , a dog that starts hunting pheasants instead of consentrating on the ferreting is a nuisance......

In my experience, dogs favour fur, given half a chance and a bit of encouragement, and you'll have a lot more sport and less problems that way.

Only trying to help....there are a lot of romantic notions about which can be a pain in the butt in reality..
 
hi john, point tacken. round where i live we hardly have any pheasants at all so i cant see it being a problem,also he is much keener for the bunnies and i see feathered game as a bit of bonus. took him out today and walked a couple of hares up but kept him on the lead, thought i would let him have a look at things to come. regards tony
 


Hi paul Tod is still very much enjoying life up in Scotland, working well to rabbit, rat and of course accidental hares! :- "



Unfortunately despite being a great jumper last week he got one jump wrong and ended up caught on the top strand of some sheep fence!

He's healing well as they do and will be back out again soon!
