labstaff

To be honest at 4 months old I wouldn't be in a hurry to do anything! Keep her on the lead and introduce gradually, that way if she doesn't like something, depending on the situation you can walk away or praise and reassure.

Hi Perce, yes she is steady (as steady as an 8 month pup can be lol) to a thrown dummy. Tom, I have thought about using treats but don't want to encourage her to spit the dummy in order to get at the treat quicker. Thanks for the replies.

I have an 8 month old lab whose basic training is coming along nicely. She will recall perfectly without a dummy but when retrieving she will pick the dummy and run round with it. She will recall in with it but when she gets to me she will turn her head away, put her head down pretty much move round so I can't get the dummy. I've let her jump up at me and fussed her with it in her mouth but no matter how long I wait when my hand gets near the dummy she will move her head. I've tried walking away and bringing her into heel which she will do but as soon as she is at heel she will put the dummy down and walk at heel! Any advice will be gratefully received! Thanks

Personally I don't shoot the hares on my permissions because there are very few and I like to watch them, BUT, if there are large numbers causing damage then they should be controlled.

CLA 1st and Midland 2nd for me.

Thanks folks, .22LR it will be then. Just got to wait for the ticket now!

Yup, i'm there on the Saturday....can't wait!

Application has gone in for .22 rimfire. I was talking today to one of the licencing staff today and she says that when granted it will be for .22 RF and not specific (last time I has my FAC with the same force it was the same thing). So my question is this, what is the difference between LR and WMR. Last time I had LR but was considering WMR for the extra power for long range rabbits. What are the advantages and disadvantages over LR? Thanks

Good luck mate, let us lnow how it goes!

Awesome pics mate

Hi folks, sorry forgot to say it is for the field. Health and safety it is then. Thanks!!!!!

Hi all, Currently filling out my application for Firearms ticket. Last time I did this I didn't bother with a moderator (don't ask me why!). What would deem a good reason to have it? I was thinking health and safety, prevent noise pollution, something like that? Any advice welcome!! Thanks all

Nice work mate

I'm on the look out for a pair of great tits to photo

Well Done matey!!!!

RIP

Well done mate, bet you can't wait to go shopping!!!

Thats a very happy looking cocker!!!

He looks like a character!!

I've never heard of the breed but looks a cracking dog.

Awesome!!!!

I don't feed raw but I do give raw green tripe and frozen raw bones along with their usual kibble. I get my bones from the butchers and get the tripe in 1lb frozen blocks from kennel gate. What dog have you got?

Well done mate You deserve every success!

One of the most exciting matches I've seen in ages!!!
