Is this too much for 9 weeks old pup.

[johnny 2 367]

on a serious not mate the pup looks well. and it wont hurt taking her out ferreting with you imo.

injections................?

doh should of had them about 8 or 9 weeks, my bad,........

i wouldnt take a dog out that young...........long day for pup when they should be eating ,sleeping , and playing

 

i had her injected early.

What with steds?

 

Steds are old school....... Those in the know use ...."brown brown".......(gunpowder ,coke mix)

Just goes to show how far behind the times i am

should have had its first shot out of the two by now, theres more dogs walk past vins driveway in a day than walk out where he was ferreting.

if you got another dog working ,...............the pup will just get in the way for starters or even worst things could happen .............

the pup has to learn sometime. bad things can happen to any working dogs when out can it not? dont matter what age, accidents happen.

you mates with earlystart lol.......................you obviously know better ,..............all the best

Did a bit of ferreting with mi pup yesterday doing all the marking and I thought I,d leave nets off and let her have a few bolters...

 

she kept wanting a rest...but i pushed her harder and she did ok I suppose.

 

If she dont buck her Ideas up Im going to have to swop her for something better in a week or 2.

 

anyway had to cut the morning short and get to the pub before dinnertime because the strippers were on..so left the ferrets down the warrens and came home. . .

 

I'm sure if I had stayed I could have had a few more..but I suppose its best not to push my pup too far too soon eh.

 

 

 

 

 

PS

 

Merry Xmas Everyone.

Unfortunately theres so many idiots in lurchers who would actually be serious about axpecting a pup of that age to work. But LOL! Good post Whenever i have a pup i take it out for the dog walk/ ferreting session from day one. It stays inside my coat untill its had its jabs then i let it follow along untill its tired and then back in my coat. This way it gets to watch what it will be doing as an adult by seeing my adults doing it. As and when i judge it to be ready i leave a hole or two unnetted. And by 6 months or so old i have them out lamping, not to run but again to watch.

Seriously dogmagic? I couldn't be arsed with the hassle. Pups just get in the way. Any lurcher will pick up what it's born to do with a few outings no matter it's age. I always prefered to leave the pup in kennel, one of the most important lessons it needs to learn is it doesn't always get to go. At some point it'll get injured and left, last thing you want is a dog with desperation problems howling the place down. Just my opinion.

Desperation pmsl seperation I mean

@ Baw

 

Personaly,..I like to get a pup out 'as soon as possible'....

 

Good old lurchers , eh...what would we do without em..

[baw 4,360]

I know what I'm doing without them chalky, doing my nut in lol. You don't understand how much lurchers are away of life till you don't have one to run. Go out when I can with mates etc but its not the same. Once I've settled down again it's first on my list

[bird 10,013]

good bag vin, nice pup should be fast and good wind with its breeding, from what ive heard. .What was the coats on the parents like, as i know ferreting your main sport, and can be fair amount of standing about at times,and good coat definitely helps.

[Giro 2,648]

Looking well Vin

 

I was going to try mine but its killed two ferrets already.. Gonna hold mine off a bit and just enter to fox..

 

Rabbits are for fannys

[FUJI 17,328]

ferreting with a pup in your coat...................it gets better, and taking a six month old pup lamping to watch...................then pass it on to the next moron when it starts opening up through frustration..............
