Guest busterdog Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Perhaps the dog doesn't understand what your asking of it, not all dogs will hunt naturally. As others have said see if someone else will come out with you, it hasn't got to be a terrier any old bin licker will do as long as it chases game and gets your dog excited. Quote Link to post

gnipper 6,508 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 You say you had her out at 9 weeks and she's nearly 12 months now, has she ever been out when the nettles have stopped stinging? She might have got stung as a tiny pup before the instincts kicked in and thought feck that. I would give her a few months into the season myself rather than till winter and try and get her out with other dogs, preferably ones that open up when on a scent coz that will gee her up. Have you shown her any dead rabbits etc and had her ragging or is she not interested Quote Link to post
