i got a 4 year old cocker dog at the age of 15 weeks started taking him with me just for the fun within a year he had the making of a good dog , when he got to the age of 2 wow he changed

he will hunt rabbits and he will not leave one blade of grass unturned he marks the holes even to the one it went in i put the nets on holes he sits there the ferret is put in she bolts them if she comes out and he noes there is any more in there he want leave the hole got to see it to belive it.

go to the holes and say mark if he goes there and leave there is nothing in there the hours he saves me the year old one i got is coming on well to she picks the ferret up and fetch it to me when it comes out so might have a good team

i use a whippet and a saulki/whippet and a jack russell use the rest of me terriers for bigger game and bushing.DONT USE NETS WHILE FERRETING DONT THINK ITS SPORTING AT LEAST THEY HAVE A CHANCE 2 GET AWAY WHEN YOUR USEING THE DOGS SAYING THAT NOT MUCH GETS PAST MY LOT.

i expect a ferreting dog tae bush what ever rabbits there is above ground (if any), then mark the holes

wait, watch an respect both ferrets an nets, an too hold netted rabbits or retreive bolters

 

an a lot of the time i expect my dog to do this on the other side of the hedge/fence/ditch

 

only thing my bitch dont do all the time guarenteed is mark as good as id like

all of the above i hope mine pups only 12 weeks but love to cuddle up to a furry bunny

Ok so I'll rise to the bait if only to keep the ball rolling .

A ferreting dog ; should not chase stock .

Should not b*gger-about

Should come back.

 

There's all this other sh*t like hand signals ,retrieving ,marking, not damaging netted rabbits and the like but it don't mean didly if the basic obedience is'nt there .

 

And that big grey dog marking the hole IS a pure grey.
