Well we braved the snow showers yesterday and went to the rabbit pen with Sage. There were a number of other dogs and owners from our training group there as well, with a few novice dogs.

We were about 5th into the pen. Unfortunately by the time we got our go the few rabbits that were in the pen had become wise and totally gone to ground. We probably saw more rabbits around the perimeter of the pen rather than in it. I think there was an escape committee amongst them all biggrin.gif

Anyway we made the best of it and hunted Sage through the cover. Obviously there was a lot of scent and it was good to see how she reacted.

Here she is waiting her turn:

Steve did manage to get a couple of videos, but I can only post one as the other is too large at the moment to upload! If you listen very carefully at the end of this video you will hear a thud followed by lots of Ooohs. That was the point that Sage ran head first into a tree blink.gif A bit of a shake and she was off again tongue.gif

So we still don't know whether she'll chase or not, but we'll be back biggrin.gif blink.gif

Wow, great video (my computer only let me see half of it, so I missed the thud!)
She looks like she's completely loving it.
Well done smile.gif
