Rabbits in the Wood pile

[greenshank1]

Its a lovely sunny day so thought I would get the shed tidied and sort through my duck decoys and untangle my lines for coming season.

The dog has been occupied marking and climbing all over the log pile trying to evict the rabbits that have moved in under a couple of ton of birch logs. She can smell them and probably hear them but knows she can't get them. It will be good ferreting practice

I am not in the know about trialling but would love to know more about any of the dogs in her line if anyone knows anything about them . I would also love to know any of their working abilities if anyone knows.
Some of the dogs listed had I Ft Ch , I assume that means Irish FT Ch ?.

To be honest I chose her on the look and personalities of the parents . The sire was a big strong friendly working dog and the dam a fit and active friendly pet both friendly around kids .

Cheers
Greenshank

I thought I could see similarities to my Lab. He shares quite a few ancestors especially on his sire's side.
