introducing lurchers to fox

[jenksi87 3]

how do you lads like to do it? how do you know wether the time is right or wether you should wait a bit longer?

it would be interesting to hear how peoples opinions differ on this

[Wolly 4]

Id just let the dog watch the other dog/s do the job if he/she wants to nibble let it

Out with a proven dog doing the business. Let them watch and if they show any sign's of wanting to join in then let them.

But i always make sure the that the 1st dogs got good grip.

Think personally a pup getting its face chewed off 1st ever fox will cause you to have more failures trying to start them.

what about dogs that have no others to learn off?

slip it and find out

Tease them and let them rag a few carcases till they get wound up by the sight of them. Then get them on a few july/august cubs on the lamp. They'll soon be doing them well if you've built up the antipathy in them.

You dont need an experienced dog to teach them-This can have a negative effect if the teacher dog is aggressive towards the youngster.

I've never really had a problem entering a young dog as my pups come out with my other terrier and lurcher from when they've had their second jab,I work the cover on a daily basis and find when their big enough they self enter,I have a nine month old lurcher now that has caught a good number of rabbits on short runs and from good positioning whilst bushing,she has had hold of bigger quarry and finds it easy,self entering is the best way I find,I have done this all my life and providing your sensible and get there quick to despatch when needed,I don't see a problem,atb,wirralman

ive always doubled myn up for the fist 2 and then try them single thats always worked for me atb Top Lamper

[Guest DogFaceKillah]

all depends on the dog the breeding an the dog man, i have a theory of entering a dog single, that dog will never rely on another for confidence, just a thoery! but id say let it watch ecpreinced dogs at it! different for diff dogs and people
