me my self id by an older dog and you know what to look for in how to train a pup.

when looking for a working dog if it stats that the dog is working you want to see it run.

after you have seen the dog work you now know what you want your pup to do.

IMO wxm

When ever possible start with a pup.....most adult dogs that are any good will not be for sale anyway....there's generally a good reason why someone gets shot of a full grown dog and your generally buying or taking on someone elses problem;)

Dont think i am being funny but have you ever owned a dog before any dog????

Pup! If your serious about learning about dogs then start with a pup, if you get an older dog you may well inherit some one elses problems, and if you have no exprience then you wont be able to sort those problems out

Pup every time.

 

You can then learn together.

 

There's always a reason an adult dog is sold on, and it is very rarely the reason you are given.

pup - extremely rewarding watching it all come together when you;ve trained a pup form scracth - however, if you are a 'flash in the pan' enthusiast - please stay clear from either.

 

Read, learn , seek adivce - and do the job properly if you are certain your in the game to stay

for youre first dog, its gotta be a pup.becomes you're own, feels great when it comes on, catches its first game,makes you feel a proud owner,alot of older dogs are usually sold due to them having problems,just dont be fooled into anything and rush, take your time and reap the rewards.atb sniper

i'd say a pup but if u could get something around 8 to 10 month would be best

get yourself a pup no one sells a good dog theres not to much to traning its all about what you want the dog to do and just keep doing it over and over the dog will get it in the end have fun with the pup and bond with it rember mans best friend most dogs will run after things but not all dogs hunt look for a dog with a bit of balls and have fun all the best

best off buying a pup so can train it how you want it to be it might take time but it could be woth it at the end and if you buy an older dog you want 1 that you have seen run because people dont sell good dogs these days cos there hard to find atb great white
