remyd 68 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 6-7 month introduce him him to rats etc.. Get a foxes tail and he will pick up on the scent of it.. Then it will go from there bud. the best answer make sure it has all its adult teeth before starting it at rat, 18 - 24 month on charlie altho i start them at 24 month when they have fully matured seen many a good dog facked up cos its been let it to early!!! atb remyd Quote Link to post
Shortyshort 0 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks Jossa and remyd is there any thing I should be doing with foxes tail like hideing it for her to find or just let her ragg it all over and get on with it herself ? Quote Link to post
