shepp 2,285 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hi people, I just thought i'd put a photo of my pup on. She's four months old now and she's line bred fell collie greyhound working out around 50/50, from collie johns last litter, who used to get on here. She's really smart when I take her to puppy classes she learns stuff as quickly as the retriever types there (don't take the piss I feel a bit daft there but they come up with some good training tips) One thing is I can never wear her out so she really is a full time dog, would'nt swap her for anything though.

danielt 1 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I see one thing they dont teach her in obedience classes is not to chew shoes. Quote Link to post

Simoman 110 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Good luck with with the pup Andy, I used to teach training classes, they can come in handy for socialisation and goodtips. There are some very good trainers involved in local dog clubs........some crap too mind............. Quote Link to post
shepp 2,285 Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Cheers Simon, yes I find the classes really useful, the softly softly approach it uses suits my pups temperament really well. Giro, John got rid of his cable tv which he used for internet some months back, I call him now and again and he's fine. He said he'll probably get back on here around September time.

Simoman 110 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Different methods for different temperaments, I prefer dogs that need a pinch collar, check chain and a whip and chair.... Quote Link to post

Guest SJM Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 He certainly puts a lot of time into rearing them, they looked a nice litter, hope he comes back on the net again soon Quote Link to post
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hey shepp you must be pround of your pup, stunning looking bitch. Whats you plans for her going forward? Quote Link to post
shepp 2,285 Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Yes she's a good pup and yes John certainly puts alot of time in with his dogs, very much a purist for his collie greys. I'm really just teaching her the basics like staying, sitting, coming back quickly on command and jumping but not up people . She spends alot of time with me just out and about in the van and plenty of walks. She hunts up scents of rabbits and fox but i don't let her get to chase them, i'll probably start her at around a year old on the lamp. She needs alot of patients with training because she is a bit of a bugger but can't be shouted at so there's alot of biting my tongue at times it seems to be paying off though. Quote Link to post
shepp 2,285 Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I thought I'd put up a couple of my mates pup, he's the litter brother to mine, he's got a great temperament and looks good too. Quote Link to post
