Guest Leveller Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 contact your local hunts-offer to do some puppy walking Only do this if you have room and time to keep a couple of hounds for a few months "puppy walking" is quite demanding and it certainly wouldn't guarantee any digging whatsoever 3 Quote Link to post

showmespeed 36 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Terrier work isn't rocket science but any great terrier man will say learn from your own mistakes. Most terriers will have a good sense in hunting unless you get a total retard which is pretty hard. I think most terriers out of the paper will give you some sense of working ability. Start with a rat and a terrier, he will do the rest or should interest and build with the little guy from there. Dogs with a big name doesn't mean shart so get one that seems smart and trainable be given away for free in the paper, which there is a ton I bet in your neck of the world. Have a go and if the dog shows interest in getting the rat he might work and guess what you didn't spend a dime! Get a couple of books that will give you a general idea and if with a enough sense you will be fine. I crossed over from bulldogs into hunting terriers and no help. I can show you digs and game that any man would be proud of. Plus I am in America and you have leaps and bounds more accessible knowledge than I. I can count all the people who dig terriers near men on one hand that be driven to in 5 or less! I feel your pain. You want bad enough you will learn yourself, I promise and if you don't you probably were not meant to own terriers. These dogs are gritty and know how to get the job done and when times get bad you will have to do the same yourself. Be as game as your terriers. 2 Quote Link to post

Guest Leveller Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 do i know what puppy walking is aint got a clue bud tell us Well once the whelps are all jabbed up they go "out to walk" usually in couples to farmers, subscribers etc where the idea is they learn their names, get stock broken and learn to walk on the lead and are hopefully socialized well enough to set them in good sted for the future ahead of them. Once they get too big and too much to handle they return to kennels. That's why I picked up on it if the lad asked if he could walk puppies he'd get a bit of a shock if instead of going for a walk with a pup or two he ended up with two dropped off at his house for the next six months there's nothing doomsville or however you put it about giving the youngster correct information, as it happens it would appear he's contacted a club and hopefully they can help him out so all the best with that John1 Quote Link to post

alimac 882 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) I'd wait till your face is known at the kennels / hunt before offering to walk puppies as imo a decent kennelman or huntsman won't just put them out to any old stranger, after all there the future of the kennels.. Offer a hand in the flesh house, anyone in there right mind wouldn't refuse that, lol Edited November 16, 2012 by alimac 2 Quote Link to post

marshman 7,757 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Option1 go to your local hunt and offer to look after a couple of hound pups Option2 go to your local hunt and offer to work in the flesh house Option3 go to your local fmwtc and see if some kind terrier lad will take you out. I wonder which option he will choose ? 1 Quote Link to post
