Sacha’s first outing. She was bloody useless - didn’t even know the deer were there, spooked 2 by barking while I moved in on the first and not sitting still while I lined up on the second, but we eventually bagged one. Couldn’t even find it in the matagouri - fortunately I did. But she enjoyed herself, especially when she got a share of the spoils! Hopefully the experience will trigger her hunting drive and get her keyed in on deer scent. I don’t know whether I’m doing her training right, just figuring it out as I go…

I would be trying to make it a bit of a game for her and teach her and use a word for the deer ( deer maybe :) ). I would be doing the same for possum, rabbit etc.... so she learns it's a bit of a finding game. Then once she is keen to find whatever it is, you can work on slowing her down and getting her to keep quiet.

Great looking dog Elrond :) he looks like he will be a decent size too when he finishes growing
he's a wee nightmare when he wants to be, usually when mama bear is home, but he's coming on really well. His uncle pops up on police ten 7 from time to time sniffing out goodies. Mine is really good at sniffing out my lost socks, so not all hope is gone.Quote:

you keep your grass shorter than mine. I got sick of hitting them with the lawn mower so switched to brisket bones and give them frozen so it takes longer to eat.

The Vizsla is well pissed off now l am bringing the lowly farm dog accompanying it on "serious" hunts now ,as l predicted & it stood in between mums legs the whole time l was cutting up the Deer & refused any offer of tid bits which it normally scoffs with glee ,so instead the farm dog scoffed both lots with great glee, making sure to triple chew any sinewy bits right in front of Red dogs face .
The Vizsla then proceeded to refuse to sit in between us in the Jet Boat as it normally does & squeezed itself in the gap at the side of the boat next to mum ,while farm dog snuck in licking me in the face ,just at every moment l was concentrating lining up runs through shallow river beds or sharp bends .
(Xpost from H&N as could not be Fooked going through the slow torture of reuploading Pics to site )
Here is the pair of dopey bastards doing the usual lick test, on the Deer Muttley got

Took Bea into the Kaimais for her first hunt today.
It was only for a few hours and we didn't see anything but she went really well. She was off the lead and I wasn't sure how she would go. She was all good though. She didn't get too far in front. She would stop and look back to me. So a promising start. I'm heading into Whirinaki next week so we will have a far better chance of getting onto something. Fingers crossed
She's a bit knackered tonight:thumbsup:
