what age would you start a dog to fox preban of course

[Taffybull 48]

every mans difrent, but i belive if the dogs goin to do it, itl do it from the word go. i,ve started dogs from 10-13 month single handed.

Taffy, you said you have started pups single handed correct? I like that. I'm actually thinkin about doin it with a coyote dog here in the next couple years. I will have to wait a bit longer I think in order to do it properly and the only reason I say that is cause, it takes a different type of dog cause we wont be doin it off the lamp, the "slips" will be much longer, and a coyote is not a fox. I hope that makes sense to you.

Simply..had a few good fox dogs over the years never liked slipping them with another dog just slip on a bolted fox if possible in the daylight as to age ive had deerhound x go mad for it from 10 months and do a tidy goob .Ive also had a good many that 18 months or so that never were any good ATB taker.

every dog is differant but id say the dog should be well over 12mths only my option

Why does evrybody think that bullx have more prey drive that other lurchers.... My beddy x collie/grey took his 1st when he was 11mths old.(preban) A mistake i must admit, as it wasnt sited due to being sand dunes...My old bullx wasnt into them at all till he was about 18mths then he spewed his first one, and turned off the run of his next few!

 

The only difference i see in bullx and conventional lurchers is that , a bull may go and have another go after it has been biten(due to starting them to young) once or even twice. Where another lurcher may think, bollocks to that. It will still run them but only nipping at the charlies back end. Thats when all is lost and your dog fails the charlie, again due to starting to young...all preban of course...

 

Theres no rush pal. you might as well wait an extra 6mth, as wait the whole of the dogs life time, so that you can get another and learn from your mistakes!

"why does everybody think that bull x have more prey drive" because they have fact!! im not slaggin any other breed off its horses for courses

Alot of different opinions, "youll know when the dogs ready" seems to be about right, but what do people class as knowing when the dogs ready? Keep answers sensible...

[samba 534]

think it depends on the dog himself attitude toward its

quarry seen 10mth old pups take them then litter mates

take alot longer

i find the dog will tell you when their ready with there

temprements and how theyve been brought up

[whin 463]

a dogs ready when he starts throwing hiss elf about not lieing down to other dogs in kennl usaly , starting to show he aint no pup , between 10 months to 16 months usaly ,every man or decent dog men who breed there own no theredogs and there stile as they are with them daily you notice things
