Im Chris from Lancashire- new to British Fieldsports


Recommended Posts

Hi I am Chris from Darwen Lancs. I am new to field sports. I have a couple of friends with permission that have kindly took me along but always out for new information and help and have been looking over alot of the info on here and finding it really useful. I have ferrets and have been rabbiting with them with some good results although nothing quite like seen on this site. I have also just purchased a lurcher pup. Dam collie x deerhound x greyhound, Sire deerhound x greyhound x whippet. Any advice is greatly recieved for training tips from young pup (8 weeks).

hi chris, welcome to the site, i am in cumbria now but i was born in darwen and lived there until i was 11, for the time being just enjoy your pup and socialize with him as much as you can, first thing to do when he is a bit older is concentrate on walking on and off lead, and get him to fetch sit and stay, after that you can take him out with other dogs just to see what is going on, when he is old enough he will soon pick it up, i usually start dogs off at 12 months and bitches at 10 months but that is only my way i am not saying it is right for every one.atb.

Thanks for the advice. Good to see there's a few locals as well. If anyone goes out and doesn't mind a tag along any opportunity to learn is good. Also it's been said that it's best to wait till 12 months before trying to teach diesel (my pup) is that generally what everybody thinks? I plan alot of walking as he gets older I've been advised aswell to do plenty of road walking as well as out in the fields. Thanks for making me feel welcome aswell very pleasant forum
