rescue dogs

[Guest Lurcherbitch]

Yes!!! A rescue dog will work for you, BUT!!!!! you still have to put the work into them. I have got dog's here that are here through no fault of there own, are bloody good all rounders, but they need that bond, Why did your mate go for rescue??

Well its only 6 months old so he has a chance with it. My advice to him would be to spend the summer concerntrating purely on bonding with the wee dog and training it some basic commands. A good recall, break it to livestock, train it to carry if it shows the slightest interest in fetching things back to you, and get it jumping. Then once hes built up trust with the dog and knows it will listen to him and come back when called etc start working it and see how he gets on

good advice sjm.. just what the lad needed .....i think paitence is a big factor to ..

his mam takes in homeless dogs and helps rehome them and hes been looking for a lurcher for a while now and this one came in because the owners didnt have the time for it so hes dicided to keep him lovely dog too just hasnt been bothered with it just doesnt respond to anything you say yet but like use said time and paitence

think you should stay in your pram Wilf like allrounder says he is young and just asking may be thats why people like me dont bother posting ! because of people like you jumping out your pram give the lad a break allrounder i am sure you will get the dog hunting but may be have a search through previous topics at your basic training like sit stay etc you may find some good tips to help you and your mate bring this dog on , think some one mentioned cheese to help you train your dog have look back and good look lads :thumbs-up: may be interesting to keep us posted on your succses {spelling}

I got my dog from a rescue at 18 months.It does take a lot of patience as you have to start from scratch with basic obedience .He's never going to be the best dog around but he does ok on the lamp for me & to be honest if i was a better trainer he'd be a better dog.Glad your mate's giving it a go & best of luck.

I think Wilf like myself gets frustrated. The general feeling from we get told is rescue dogs will never work properly, they are in rescue because they were/are no good. That you must have a dog from 6wks old to stand any chance. IMO, the only difference is 'sometimes' a rescue may take a bit more time to train.

My lad was about 12mths when i got him. Bonding has never been a problem, he is pathetically loyal....perhaps because he came from rescue kennels?

He is no world beater by any stretch of the imagination, and has his faults....faults caused by me because he did not even know what a bunny was the first time he saw one, so was unsoilt untill i spoiled him

But he has the heart and the drive and will run his legs off. The biggest number of rabbits in one long night was 20 out of 40++ runs over 4hrs, and has had accidental Roe and fox, loves to rat and is a natural at bushing with the terriers. He will retrive if he feels like it and is terrible for hunting up...both human error.

Tell your mate to take it slowly...just as he would with a young pup, dont think because it is older it will have more wisdom cos it wont.....6mths is still very young anyway.

Good luck.

........Now you know that when I have had my pills, I am like a pussycat.......sorry if I was a bit hard on you allrounder......but I have seen so much shite talked about rescue dogs that its all to easy to give up on them saying that the shite talkers were right! and hey presto, the poor feckers on its way again.

 

Stick with the dog Allrounder and it will give you so much MORE than you can ever give it!
