    Hello folks my 20 mth old pup has a very bad habit of jumping up on poeple if we meet anyone out wlking, we put her on her lead if we see people coming but sometimes they come from nowhere and its to late, it doesn't help that people usually put there hands in the air which just encourages her to jump more!!!! Any suggestions??
  3. lurchergirl2
    Yes i agree not old enough yet, don't damage your dogs still developing joints!! if thats all he wont jump at 10mths u've nothing to worry about!

    Hi any of your hard killer machine dogs got any weird quirky ways or odd fears, i had a dog that was terrified of flies and cutlery banging together!! yet you could let a bomb off next to him and he couldn't care less!!, i now have a dog that is scared of the wind whistling through the house and doors banging, is this just a collie behaviour or do other crosses do things like this too!

    Sorry to hear the trouble your having, sounds like it could be over stimulated 5 times a day is hell of a lot, how long is it out for 5 times a day? How old id it?, i would completely ignore it as any attention you give the whining will encourage it to do it more, try the hose or use a water spray gun but no voice, just squirt it with the water, if you only give attention to it when its quiet it will soon learn to shut up!!! You must have alot of time to be with it if you take it out 5 times a day, your probably giving it to much attention. Good luck hope it improves!!!

    Nice looking pup, as someone else said looks a bit thin in some pics, does it need worming?? sure it will be a cracker for you!! Atb

    Here Here Bird, couldn't agree more, good on you and your family looks like a super dog very similar in shape to my old dog who was collie/greyhound x bed/ whip and he was 24tts. Keep up the good work!!

    I dont think its just shit to be fair. Maybe it was just a question but theres to many folk just dying for there bitch to reach an age so they can breed and get pups, never mind if the dog is useless and the pounds are full of pups anyway.... Maybe a short sharp tongue lashing on THL might make folk think twice that pumping out pups is no the best way too go..... She only asked when would be the best time to breed her bitch and instead off some advice she has to take that shit. She has a young dog there and by the sounds off it it will get worked and well looked after and further down t

    It is my personal opinion and i am going on her conformation and excellent trainablility, as i say it is my own opinion, i an possibly breeding from her to have a pup for my self and of course i would ensure homes for the rest of the litter first, as i say i may decide not to have any pups yet will see what the future brings

    Can i just ask, are most of you from america, the word pound is used by an awful lot of you????
  14. lurchergirl2
    thanks iceman, I am so glad someone is able to read what i said and understand it as a simple question, to all others don't put me in the same catergory as people that are breeding for the sake off it, i am def not desparate for my bitch to reach breeding age so i can farm out loads of puppies, i have never breed before and think my bitch has potential to breed some cracking pups if i can find the right stud dog for her, i will think twice before asking any questions on this site again, its a shame as some of you are very genuine and give great advice and i love reading your advice to others,
  15. lurchergirl2
    Well i dont see why it got so out of hand, i only asked advice on the best age to breed, i did not say i was going to breed from my very young dog NOW and enjoy having lots of unwanted puppies did i?? Everyone else came to that asumption!! Give a girl a break ehh Well if this thread isn't proof enough.....
  16. lurchergirl2

    true, 4/5 is right, and you will know how good the bitch is at her job . What i meant on my thread , is at 3rd season = 3 years old she is mature physically right, if you wanted to breed . But as these are working dogs (lurchers,gundogs,terriers,) you need 4/5 seasons to really test both sire+dam Sound like good advice thanks bird!! We were kinda thinking that age, as i said before wanted to wait till the old dog is no longer here, but he may well be when she is 4/5yrs old

    Hi Gaz, sorry if i badly worded my question, no do not intend to breed from her at 20mths no!! that would be mad!!, just a thought for the future, haven't really done any work yet due to aforementioned, she has had a run on a few rabbits and shows excellent pace, turn and nose, what i want as we all do is excellent obedience, my bitch is still in training but going well. Would love to see her work properly but as i said very difficult up here.
  21. lurchergirl2
    Try to v difficult here since the ban, and more than your lifes worth to be bringing all the deer down, rabbit population has declined alot after 2 very bad winters, impossible to get any permission to lamp! why are folk getting a bit tetchy about this!! Why do you think its wind up?? Its a ligimate question!
  22. lurchergirl2
    Thanks do you mean wait till after her 3rd season?? Our problem is we live in Scotland and have a lot of deer here, prob more deer than rabbits, don't want a dog that will go and desimate the deer population if you know what i mean!!
  23. lurchergirl2
    Hi guys, we are hoping to breed just one litter from our bitch at some point, she'll be 2 in october, just wanted your thought on the best age to breed, we were planning to wait till our old 11yr dog is no longer with us do you think this is best?? although he could live another 5yrs possibly yet! so does that make it to old for the bitch?? Hope this makes sense!!! Also not sure what to put her to don't want a big pup she is 22tts and is 3/8 collie 5/8 gh, husband fancies gh x dh, i maybe fancy bed/whippet, what do you suggest?? anyone got any good pics of bed/whippets.

    I agree don't get dispondant, keep up the training, your dog is it an adolecsent age and trying the boundries with you, i had a dog who at 1yr old caught his 1st lamped rabbit and was so determined neither me nor my husbsnd was having it he swallowed it whole then puked it up later walking home down the road, it was amazing!! Your dog will be less likely to retrieve with other dogs around try taking it out alone and practicing with a rabbit or dummy if you can. Good luck!!
