lamping lurchers 34 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 just got a dog and the kid i got it off tried it doubled up at 12 months on a red and it was bit and it jacked, it aint looked at em since, the dog is now 14/15 months old and is catching daytime rabbits, would he ever do red again in the future or will he drop his arse again because of his previous experience of beimg entered too early Quote Link to post

Mr Hunter 31 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 My Whip x Grey jacked @ 12 months also it was not intentional i ran him on it he just came across it when mooching for rabbits and 6 months later stumbled upon one again drinking from a pond and no sign of jacking that time.However he struggled with it as was fair size and he only 21" tts if that Quote Link to post
rocky1 942 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 try and get a good bond with the dog first,i would leave reds alone for a while and just keep it worked and then maybe in the future it might ,do,nt expect big things Quote Link to post

runforyourlife 361 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Aye, those red rabbits are tough... You say it Jacked. It may have never done them in the 1st place! As it was only 12mth old. May not have the desire in it, fullstop. Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 had a dog who was unlucky to meet up with strong qaurry got bit twice never forgot but by four years old would go and go for them once he matured never bred him for skanky foxes coursing etc but he tackled antything and was clever with it and relished a bit of toe to toe , give him aseason on just game then double him up until confident then let him go Quote Link to post
