DogMagic 461 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Definately get rid of one of those pups mate. Keep one and turn it into a good dog. Keep both and they will both be c**ts and do your head in and then you will be putting an ad in the countrymans saying "for sale through no fault of there own" and true enough, it will be YOUR fault not theres. Im not beating around the bush because i know you wont listen if i give it to you gently. I doubt you will anyway but for the sake of the pups i hope you do. Now to what age to start the one you keep: take it everywhere with you from the age it is now. When you go ferreting take the pup with you. When you go for a walk take it with you. When you visit friends take it with you. You get the idea. It needs to build a bond with you and it will do that by being with you. It needs to be socialised and it will do that by meeting other people and dogs. It needs to learn about hunting etc and it will do that by coming with you when you go. Once its reached 6 months old you can leave one or 2 holes unnetted when your ferreting. This will give it the odd chase. When its about 9 - 12 months old (depending on your judgement on its readyness) you can give it more work and start it on the lamp. Quote Link to post

What sort of dogs have you previously been coursing? Have you had your own dogs before? what made you decide to get two pups at the one time? Quote Link to post
