How To Start My Lurchers

[BORDERSCOT 3,816]

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want to bring two pup's up together or even think it's better to do it that way.. ..a pup brought up on it's own will think for itself more and learn new task's all by itself..it will have nothing to pick bad habbit's up from..it will bond with you better and in return make it easier to train..and when it is old enough to get out in the field hunting you will have one good dog instead of two half decent one's..

 

Spot on...

Seen it dozen of times lads have taken on two pups by 6 months if not sooner they have learnt a lesson the hard way and only kept one.

Good luck taking on two....

 

You will need it

You will have a far better mutt if you concentrate all of your efforts on one pup, especially if your a first timer...If I were you iI would take one pup back to where you got them from and explain that to them.....I'm sure they will understand saying that, I wouldn't have given a first timer two pups.........

All the best mate everyone has to start somewhere..

2 pups keep each other company in the pen chase each other around play together as long as you know what your doing and give them plenty one on one training as well they will do fine. maybe not if your a total novice though

My phone wont let me quote. But NANS PAT plesse explain to me (im a bit simple) how 2 pups rear better together FACT. . . When the owner doesnt know how to rear 1 pup FFS.

I'm with the guy if he wants racing dogs, be it track dogs or rag racing whippets but to take two pups on and try to get them into any standard in the hunting game is asking a lot.

I for one wouldn't and Couldn't do it.

Hi, I recently got 2 lurchers, theyre both 9 week old littermates, theyre weaton, bull, collie, greyhound. absolutely fantastic little dogs. they don't have any interest in chasing balls yet, but will chase someone round a field forever. how should I start them getting the instinct so that when theyre old enough it will be easier for them

 

Thanks

Everybody starts from scratch,fact,ive always found it easier to train two rather than one,they can interact and also learn from each other,more importantly they will have companionship away from the owner,it won,t be easy and training one to one as its positives as does littermates,as one progresses the other may need a little more reinforcement,thus a learning curve for the owner that can be utilised in the pups future education.But with the breeding in your pups id move one on and concentrate on the other,a more experienced kennel would possibly get the best from both,as a newer type owner of such bred dogs id put my effort into the one with this breeding.
