blackpack 70 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 if he only had it a few weeks then start from the beginning, back to basics, if its from a home, probably never been shown any field craft, its natural for a running dog to run after prey, hope it all turns out good for you Quote Link to post

watchman 256 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 hey ave done the basics with it and i know it has already bin out daytime and lamping before as the bloke from rescue centre said it was a poachers dog not much of a poachers dog im guessing he need some time with the dog mate,think he has put a thread up about it he will get all the advice he will need weather he takes it or not is up to him but i wouldnt dream of working it till i got some sort of bond with it,dont take them long to accept your being there for it Quote Link to post
