Fox

[colliexgreyhound 119]

pre ban if you had a young lurcher at 18 months of age and it was geting stuck in with another dog at fox but on its first singlehanded slips it was jacking what would you do. Give him more doubled up or start afresh with another lurcher

[patterdale666 1,620]

give it another one on its own with no other dog there see if that works

well considering your from Ireland i wouldnt worry about the ban lad but i'd give him more on his own and if he not lifting on his own i'd say put him down, dont think you should ever double up on fox unless you know the dog isnt worth its salt just my opinion

[colliexgreyhound 119]

This was a dog i had at the start of the season. i gifted him to a lad for lamping rabbits just always wondered if i had of gave him more doubled up to start would he have came around. he had 3 doubled up an didnt get phased by it at all and then gave him two on his own lifted the two of them but he was arse nipping and didnt finish them he was 28tts and about 70ibs in weight

id leave him till next season before trying again, not all dogs are ready for it at that age, some take longer than others

did you finish them for him?

[colliexgreyhound 119]

yes for the first 1 the second one was caught in the ditch and he let go when it bit him so it escaped lol

Depends if you want to just get fox. To me, I'm not bothered about foxes. Unless a farmer asks me to get rid. I'm no pest control lad, so souly hunt for the pot.

Was it a malumute x mate?

[artful212 394]

nothing worse than seeing a big dog like that not doing it

[Bootsha 1,306]

it may be looking the part mate, but it may just not be quite mentally ready for it yet, not all dogs are starters at 18 months old, as has been said already, see what he wants to do start of next season, you may be pleasantly suprised.

 

I wonder how many are disposed of if they aren't early starters in the dog game??? a fair few i'd say

 

all the best with it anyhow

I totally agree with this - I reckon a large number of dogs are passed over if they don't hit the ground running in their first season...don't think I have ever sen a dog ruined by waiting 6 months or giving it time...seen a fair few f****d up by idiots sending a pup in to do an experienced dog's job...
