So..to summarise>> Wullies wee dug failed on two of the elements and came second,
and one of the judges said it should trial?
By my way of counting she failed on one element , not two. She failed the retrieve over the fence. Her other failures were all in the Open test. The judge did a wee bit more than say she should be trialed..... he wanted to buy her. I don't know if her owner will sell or not , I don't think he will though.

I wasn't told her hunt mark compared to the winning dog but was told her hunt mark was higher than the dog she was to have a run off with.

My neighbours, the ones that own Rosie the vizsla, have a bloody ginormous big rabbit as a pet. It has free run of their garden and is allowed into the house too ..... along with Rosie, a terrier cross and a staffie. Rosie defends her food bowl from the other two dogs but not from the rabbit who pushes in and munches happily on her grub !

The rabbit and Rosie play together, they take shots each at chasing each other ! Rosie has often had the rabbit in her mouth but never harms it. Every time I take Rosie home she sight points that rabbit out in the garden. I have made use of this by getting Rosie used to me stroke praising her as she points. Only rarely do I ever get to send her in to flush however, that crazy rabbit comes lolloping up to her to play with his pal !

I'm mentally picturing Rosie pointing a rabbit on a shooting day and then turning and running away to get the rabbit to chase her ! :roll: I don't think that's very likely though, the one time I took Rosie into a rabbit pen she broke the thick rope checkcord I had her on ..... twice !!!

It always makes me grin when I watch Rosie play with her pal.

I don't know if it's still alive but I keep a close eye on my dogs if I pass that garden !

A few days ago my neighbours gate was open and I just got Dax back in the nick of time ...... his ideas on how to "play" with their rabbit would have been a bit different from Rosie's ! :whistle:
