ive had a good season on the foxes but I have found the rabbits very hard to come across,17 REM if yer looking for a pup in jan let me know I have very well bred pups here,cheap as chips and both parents taking a plethora of everything,saluki based pups with greyhound thrown in.give me a pm and I'll go through the stuff we hunt.the coursing folk are very militant this year,over x mass I hope to get a lot of stuff done and fill the freezer with dog food.

DEMOLISHER

Im ccompany many times demolisher,and depending on the breed and maturaty,I dont leave them see a fox till at least 18-24 months and thats after they have had a lot of confidence building by catching easier game.The last thing you want is an inexperienced dog getting a pounding on its first ever fox,get him in with another dog and let him be last in,let the experienced dog get a good hold and when your dog shoots in he is less likely to take pain.after a few he has to then handle things himself and you wont be long finding out if hes got the minerals for the job.best of luck with your dog and I hope he does all you would like him to.

great to hear others are doing well, im also finding rabbits hard to come by:( means alot of travelling to keep the dogs going strong but its worth it !

edited to say : foxes are everywhere i wonder could this be the reason the rabbits are scarce ?
