Knew a guy who bought a springer...was told he would retreive anything from anywhere.Fifst day out with the new dog .shot a phesant ..out went the dog retrieved OK but would not release it .....back to the kennel the dog 2 days with the bird in his mouth ....Eat no food .nothing Saw this myself ......must say it was funny to see ......ANYWAY.......YOUR DOG MIGHT BE A LITTLE OLD TO START ANY NEW TRAINING .....BUT when it retrieves turn your back and walk on .let the dog come to you ..as above plenty of praise maby even a treat .............................happy hunting
went out last night came on a fox got good and close the whippet gave chase ..his first time coming on a fox .....Fox in around the legs of some cattle and GONE.Dont know if my whippet or any whippet would handle a fox ...was glad he dident catch him to find out
What Pictures MY GOD they are class. Cracken looking terriers you got there and its great to see that YOUNG LAD IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL ...............Well done all I really enjoyed that :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
Just make sure the breeder has his Whippets in good health and a working line,,,find out what work and game he uses his dogs for.You will soon see if thats the type of line you are afte,,,,,,,,,r
kEEP SMALL FERRETS MYSELF .CRAFTY LITTLE HUNTERS ........NEVER BOTHERED WITH THE BIG TYPE ......FRIEND OF MINE HAD A HUGE BUCK ,GOT FREE OF THE CAGE WE FOUND HIM THE FOLLOWING MORNUNG CHASING THE SHEEP IN THE BACK FIELD
When they are pups keep it simple .dont keep throwing dummies ..dont scold to harsh for mistakes ....as said make play and feeding all part of training ,getting them to sit just before you feeding........ dont put them through heavy cover that will come as they grow TOO MUCH to soon will spoil your pup 20 MINUTES a day 10 in morning 10 afternoon always finish on a good NOTE ,,,,, Giving the dog plenty of praise.......... Good luck .happy hunting.........
