DazAllison1 556 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Looks a nice type, is she from working stock? Try get to know a few local lads who work terriers and I'm sure they will be happy to help getting you out with them see how its done and you can decide then if your serious about it, cheers Quote Link to post
bryanm45 787 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 What sort of work are you looking to do with her, if your bushing and ferreting as well, you might want to start stockbreaking to ferrets. She looks good, is she from workers. Here's a pic of mine, trying to break him to ferrets at the mo. 3 Quote Link to post
Jake .V. Hebb 0 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 yeah she is from a working family and im hoping to get her trained working along side the ferrets, shes only 11 months old but she is already keen, took her for a walk on a local field the other day, and she was sniffing around at the bush's, so i decided to investigate further to which point, looked like i had a pup with no head lol . When i got close to her, she had her head down a rabbit burrow and was pulling her self a way, to my amazement, she had dragged out a rabbit by its tail ha ha Quote Link to post

AXUM 255 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 first thing before taking her out hunting... is getting her stock proof.. cows sheep horses chicken maybe even cats. so get a permission on farm with cattle and sheep have your dog on long lead and train it Quote Link to post
