BrianSteven72 369 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 i would run him doubled up with an older more experienced dog for 2 or 3 and see how he gets on and if hes keen enough after that give him a go on his own Quote Link to post
Penda 3,341 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 i used to start my dog with experience dogs,but the only problem i found was that sometimes it had an oposite effect and sometimes if the other dog cops the fox wrong ie the back end the inesperience dog will get a face full of teeth,now i know some dogs dont mind it and theyll take what evers thrown at them but some dogs dont like this 1st time and you can put a dog off for the rest of its working life as i have saw on many occassion. I find that introducing a young to a fox on its own to start has a lot of a better out come aspecially with a dog of your dogs age go out in september call in a nieve fox and see what the dogs made of 1st one theyll either kill or just throw it around i sometimes give them a hand and what i have done then is took them out after with a more experienced dog let them get stook into the fox then let the pup in after on a couplethey soon pick it up if theyve got it in them mate . I think youve got to get a pup to understand what mr fox is all about Quote Link to post
rocky1 942 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 just bring it on the same way as you brought your other dogs Quote Link to post
