fensaluki 35 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 They are all different mate and although most of us have a preferance between dogs and bitches I think most honest and experienced owners would tell you its whats between their ears that makes them or breaks them not whats between their legs.

ATB Just wait until the end of the summer before entering either of them. The season is over now and the fastest way to ruin a good dog is to start it too early. Quote Link to post

ATB IT may be a bit harsh mate And you are entitled to your opinion .However ,each dog is different and i would no be pissing around with an 8 month pup on rabbits,when there is far to much training 2 be done.
