mally 832 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I totally agree with fight the ban, you only get out of a dog what you put into one. Starting a pup working before it's properly developed is asking for trouble. Take a note of all the folk bragging there dogs are catching at 6 months old, then take a look in 4-5 years time to see if they still have the dog!!!!. I start my pups when there fully developed and trained not until, usually thats around the 10 month mark and thats only a couple of easy runs to build the pups confidence. Whin you are always on about your dogs and there abilities, offering matches etc, yet you failed to enter the lamping comp. Why don't you come down here next season and run alongside my whippets on the ground i run on, i'll put you up at mine for a few days. I'd like you to see Vixen run as your always slagging whippets off, maybe you haven't seen a googun run yet... 2 Quote Link to post

iceman001979 1,316 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Everybody will always have different opinions about when to start a pup.There is a diffence in bring a pup out with the ferret and letting it watch and same on the lamp till bringing a pup out for a full days or nights hunting. Have 2 pups now only turned 5 months old have only seen dead rabbits that l feed them on and only get long walks out the dam learning about other stuff fences, ditchs ,gates,livestock etc etc. AS long as pups come back when l tell them and dont look at livestock then thats ok for me because there dam will learn them most of the stuff there going need till learn about the hunting game. The next time l go out 1 off the pups will be going but just till watch and l do this afew times before letting them run for themselves must know that the pup knows what its legs are for because giving a pup runs 2 young where there not getting a cahace till catch what there chasing will just put them off in the long run. Best thing for a pup at a young age is playing and chasing another dog or pup where they learn how till turn, drive, and use different gears and muscles what there going till need later down the line. 1 Quote Link to post

arcticgun 4,548 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I just let my pups get on with it, they are off the lead in fields once basic recall, stock break sorted,we ain't blessed with much game my ways on, so they ain't spoiled for choice, and its hard for em to get over worked so if they catch they catch, I just don't do disappointment with my pups, cos they gotta learn. The terrier gets them into cover and they usually click on quckly that once he starts there is something coming to chase, sometimes they put there own up, but they enter themselves really. Once I know they are strong enough for the task I want em for I just introduce them slowly, again getting disappointed won't help so I just try something else if they getting knowhere, I don't think it's really fair to judge them until they 2 or had at least a couple of seasons, unless they really are that bad, its each to there own really, cos if you bought decent gear in the first place, only you or bad luck can feck it up Quote Link to post
