vulpinehunter Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) My wife though I was mad, my mate could not believe the SIZE of the creature I take out stalking! She is called "Sika" and is just over three now. When I started to train her I took her with me lamping for rabbits on my quad/side x side.Not all the rabbits were found for a start...then something must have "twigged" she then started to find them on regular basis. I normaly shoot around 20-30 rabbits then pack up (the butcher can only sell so many!) Sika is sent out after may be two or three at the most. She never "cries" or makes a sound.After 18 months she came stalking with me and had no interest in any deer I shot. The bit of liver was a bonus for her, then again she must have put two and two together and found her fist(came across it would be more to the point!) When she was about two & half she did start to find them. Now she is very keen and runs straight to the deer following the blood trail. I must point out that I keep her on a lead so she does not rip them apart when she finds them!! Here she is then on the last one she found....if i can upload the photo.... Some of you will reconise that she is a Yorkshire Wolf Hound some times mistaken for a Yorkshire terrier!

Frenchieboy Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 You know the old saying "It's not the size of what you've got, it's what you do with it that counts"! Are you going to try her on wild boar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liongeorge Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 My bedlington whippet x is ace at following up deer as well as flushing pheasants. she's got as good anose on her as any 'gun dog'/'deer dog'. My mate (dairy farmer)took out a deer stalker with all the gear and a teckle, he shot and lost a fallow, out comes the teckle 1/2 hour later no joy. Pal gets the old farmyard collie...straight to it.
