Might try sticking some rabbit skins on a dummy and putting it ion light cover, then working my way upto heavier cover. I turned down the pup I was looking at anyways Get the lab a bit better trained first

Sounds good harry. Bet he's a joy to shoot over! Good bit of sport shooting rabbits with the shotty, we have a "bolting rabbit" clay station down the local ground so you can practice. Just make sure never to take a shot if the dog gives chase lol, could end up as a disaster! Just to add I didn't mean have you never heard of sit to flush, I meant have you never heard of people shootin bolting rabbits that the dog has flushed ? I know quite a few people who do it and none of them has ever shot his own dog lol

I know a few people who do this, although you dont shoot the rabbit whilst the dog is chasing it. There's a reason they train the dog to "sit on flush". Have you never heard of this before ?

Im not rushing into it. I am not even sure whether to go for her. The breeder has told me if I want her she is mine but am tempted to leave her go and maybe look for one next season as having alot of work done in the garden at the moment and going to be moving the kennel into a new spot / setup. Am tempted as she looks a stunning pup and from cracking lines. Such a shame to let it go lol!

What you think of the lines she's from ? Im not that clue'd up on pedigree's lol! Seems ok to me. Someone going to see her next week so she might go lol! If so guess I'll just have to keep looking!

Most I have seen are around £400 - £450 especially for a bitch. My mate dog a dog pup n payed £400 for him Anyways rather tempted she does look lovely

They work for me lol, Ill sort em now hang on! Pics now sorted!

Best of luck mate How much that set you back ?

As some of you may have read, am looking for a companion for my 1 year old lab bitch and a dog that will be more eager to hit the cover and thorns to flush rabbits as I have a new permission with tons of rabbits but all under thick thorn bushes Always fancied a English Springer anyways, and also another dog to keep my bitch company in the kennel so they can be houses outside together fulltime rather than in the house Dont like leaving her for too long all alone! Anyways had a quick scout about and spotted this lil nipper, only bitch left in the litter. Here are the details, what do you think ? Ess puppies ( Dogs)for sale 6 LW (Bitches) 5 LW. Docked,DC,MC wormed, KC registered, 1st vaccination will be done. Sire OFTW Gunslip Barracuda Of INT FTCH Laganmill Maestro. Dam excellent working Bitch Stylish and hard hunting trained to field trial standard, FTCH Kipperidge Jasper,FTCH Kenine Robb Of Rytex and many more FTCH in pedigree with Badgercourt and Rytex lines. Strong bold pups. Work or Trial. Ready 15/05/10 There asking £400 for her!

they have to go n do the course if they wish to continue. Silly I know but thats how it goes

Exactly, Id never get rid of her, she will hunt crop when taking her beating lovely but just not keen on the thick stuff Shes brilliant on retrieving and like a fish in the water. Will prob end up looking for a spaniel pup to back her up :thumbs:

Very Tempted By This. hmm

Got some new permission with alot of rabbits and such on. Really good land but alot of thorns n the such. Took my 1 year old lab bitch down for the first time, She did pick up scent here n there but wasnt very enthusoastic to follow any trials really and was more as if I was taking her for a walk as she kept moving out ahead of me rather than hunt the ground :thumbs: At one point I piterally saw a rabbit in this thorne bush I could have leaned into and prodded with the shotgun barrel, I didnt shoot it as it was a bit unsporting (would have been like shooting a fish in a barrel) I did try to get the dog into the bush to flush and and maybe present a more sporting shot but she didnt seem interested, although to be fair it was quite thick! Feel very disappointed now to be honest, I know labs arent the best to get stuck into cover and thats a spaniels job, but everyone said both breeds will do each others job, jus not as well as each is intended. Well tonight I was honestly regretting getting her and not a springer as she just wasnt interested in hunting the bushes at all Was this just because she is only young and not used to it ? Shes never been too keen to enter anything that thick, she does go through cover but never hits it hard n is never keen. Shes a brilliant dog be good at picking up n all that, Will have to see how she comes along. At the moment training her with the breeder I had her from, she ended up being the best in the litter as it happens and he himself is eager to buy her off me so thats always a possibility, he field trials labs so I know she would be trained to a good standard and worked! Sorry to ramble on just needed to say it to be honest. What do you guys think ? Just a bit disappointed.

Reason for sale ? any pics please

id also say a guard dog, German Shepherd or the like! Another BRILLIANT one would be to pout up signs along the lines "Private Property - Keep Out" along with those dog signs, guarantee they will keep people away! "Warning - Guard Dog On Patrol" "Beware Of The Dog" "Watch Out - German Shepherd About" the signs alone will keep people out if you put a few up! Although the dog itself will probally be pushing for 100% success rate lol

Just because its a "puppy farm" of sorts doesnt mean there under fed or mistreated, seems a bit of a generalisation! Not defending the idea of puppy farming just saying it might not be like that! :unsure: I found my lab pup out of the local paper. Went up to see after phoning and the guy was a field trialler and does alot with labs So I knew I was onto a winner Gun dog events and such can be a good place to source a dog

My 11.5 month Lab has lots of bones and chews + the Odd "dentastick" and her teeth look stunningly white :unsure:

I believe thats why hes wearing a muzzle :unsure:

Ive had pheasant & duck wings, and a set of mounts for my CZ 243 for free :unsure: Thanks Pigeon watch

Why is that a problem ? its not as if he dropped them into the local Cash Generator. The RFD is registered to hold many many guns but because this guys licence run out you dont think they should have taken them ? :unsure:

Aww he's stunnin :unsure:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Isnt that still pretty far for an air rifle ? :(

Call him BUDDY!!! :(

Why did you get it if you dont know what breed it is or if its any good for hunting ? :( What its its no good ? Just get rid of it ?
