Ideation 8,216 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Also your right - no one sells a decent adult dog. However if your suggesting ferreting rabbits and letting them go to train your dog then someone needs to give you a good hard slap. atb Jai. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbotyke 62 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 i say let it settle in a cupel of days then start your basic training recall / retrieveing / sitting and so on get it used to the ferrets at a early age and you should be sound atb jenna Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tsteve9999 456 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 We all know thats against the law so I'm sure no-one on here does it, they are all law abiding citizens you know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shadowfax 0 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I don't know why you'd ever need to... if you can't train a lurcher to chase quarry then you must be a daft c**t, the hardest part is getting them to deliver it to you. Start young with the recall and retrieve and you should have no problem. ATB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
