GOBSHITE 107 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Had a few over the years that utterley refused work when in season, the same bitches were top notch upto a week before the season and they were usually stupid hard when they were finished. I couldn't say whether it was hormones that made them hard or the 3-4 week lay off. I've even had it with a lurcher, i dug a nice fox in the middle of a huge field and let it bolt out as my mate had dropped me a good fox bitch down. The bitch was soon up on her fox but thats as good as it got, she never pulled it and just plain stood and watched it run off, i was bouncing mad and phoned my mate to tell him what had happened, he just said "is it in season" i said yes why, his reply was "oh ye she'll not run owt well she's in". The truth is you'll never know untill you've tried her. Best of luck. Edited December 27, 2012 by GOBSHITE Quote Link to post
coonboy 160 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 thanks gobshite i dont no what to expext as ive had a small bit of messing with this bitch she was more intrested in digging mole holes out than going to ground last time out ive had her to ground on a coon when she was 10-11 months for 20 mins she shown and was picked up and held back to this season then she failed to find a badger this season in a sppot what looked easy when we dug it with another dog it was very big and deep so i was kind of glad as the dig was to much for a pup i shown her he quarry in the stop end for a cuple of minites and she done good with that i think i may have over shadowed her with my oldest bitch coz she was ther at all her previous digs and allowed to worry the carcus she may think this is her role when were out,,,,,, or maybe ime thinking to deep into it as usual lol 1 Quote Link to post
bobby blackheart 1,209 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 take her out on her own and see if she wants some then-could be her hormones playing up-cant you give her a jab and she if she settles down?i dont show young dogs anything in a blockend/trap-i just keep them on couples right next to the action and let the smells and noises drive them nuts-then when i think their ready i start them on an earth that a good dog has given a positive mark to-try and make it as natural as possible if you know what i mean.well it works for me.keep us posted on her progress.atb 1 Quote Link to post
