pups showing no interest

[Catcher 1 639]

Time patience and a bit effort works for me every time.If it takes me a day just to make it sit on command so bi it Once the dog know who,s the master.Most of them settle down and toe the line Its the small thing,s we do when the dog,s a pup that make,s life easy in the long run.atb. Catcher

agree with that catcher spot on. but have you come accros a 12 to 18 months thats showed little interest in chasing. as all the ones i have seen have it built in, even from 6 weeks old chasing anything that moves from a leaf to a crisp packet. the only thing i have seen is maybe a young pup for the first time not knowing about picking them up but thats not lack of interest thats lack of experience.

It,s a bit like that old saying.Some are born great some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.Maybe in most cases it down to the trainer.atb. Catcher.

its just a matter of time, it might just be slow in maturing but showing another dog catching and killing usuallt sparks something

[Guest chook]

I think there is a huge difference in not knowing the score and not showing any interest, I have never come across a sighthound that doesn't react to movement, whether they are any good at handling that particular situation is a different matter but they will all react = show an interest

 

 

I have a deerhound, at 20 months she will not chase anything out in the field,

my brothers beagle x put up a H, the beagle took off after it, the deerhound stood there and just watched,

quite offten if she see's something move, she will either walk off, or just stand and watch it,

but take her lure corseing or down the track, and she go's mental.

I have a 3/4 Staghound 1/4 Bull, and she showed NO interest in chasing anything until she was 10 months. Took her out on a wednesday night, showed her Raccoons, showed her dogs killing Raccoons, even a terrier working Raccoons! No interest at all!!!! All her litter mates where doing Badger and Coyote already! Took her out on the Friday, she killed 3! Never seen anything like it before, or since! Just a real "night and day" difference! She is now my main lamping dog!

[undisputed 1,664]

none of mine seen anything until they were 12mnts or over...some dogs at 18mnts are still big pups...time and patience usually sorts it out...to many folk in a rush

Very true mate, but over here, lads give there running dogs foxs or coon at six to 8 months,...most don't even mess about with that, they just let there dogs see coyotes, some as young as six months...normaly run two made dogs and one pup togther...certainly no harm in waiting, and holding a pup back...I have a litter on the ground, and both the owner of the Sire, and myself are planning on holding them back till there in the 15-18 month age gap.

i give them till there 14 months and less ,when i bred a litter i look for ones that chase with rabbit skin on leash rope and just see whats what, never had a top class dog that was a slow starter saw a few that were bred that way and come second season they done realy well,i like a dog thtas gets on with the game and shows enthusasm ,bt thats what breeding of treid and tested dogs do in the [bANNED TEXT] hands ,anyidiot can spiol adog ,but takes abeter man to breed and enter them by far ,i wouldnt give a dog to most as some are clueless , if you have dogs and been brought up in the game you no what a dogs all about ,worse thing thta ruins dogs early entering and over doing it when pups ,

i brought 2 dogs that were about 12 months old ,they turned out to be the biggest load of rubish that i have ever owned ,i took them out 20 or more times and i tryed everthing with them ,the worst bit about it i was told that was doing there job ,they just would,nt run chase or they did was jog along ,i gave them away ,but ive also had dogs that would chase but not bite ,i had one who was 15 months old before he went into something but after he did ,he turned out to be a shit hot dog
