p3d 879 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 not telling you what to do but 11 months then people wonder why dogs jack leave the 2 of them in the kennels till next season Would agree with the above. Take your time with him. Unless he is the next "Smithy", you could ruin him. Just my opinion. Quote Link to post
moggs 18 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Good luck bud. Entered my dog last week and he went ok, used his nose well and didn't give up, landed with him. He's 2 and half years old. Haven't rushed this one, didn't see the need to. Keep it short and sweet for the dog if possible. Any way your with experienced lads they know the crack. All the best buddy. Quote Link to post
robbie4444 5 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 if they were experienced they would tell him leave a 11month old PUP at home Quote Link to post

fireman 10,884 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 IMO them two dogs are well old enough to go along to WATCH and have a rag of a dead fox at the end,get them out learning what goes on,the sounds and the bangings are all things they'll be used to come there turn.Dogs left in kennels learn feck all ,a pup or young dog on a chain watching proceedings learns so much more . 2 Quote Link to post
