I got my bitch at 3 or there abouts. And she is great dont get me wrong. But she's got a few faults that piss me off that I'm sure I won't have with my pup I'm bringing on now.

 

My bitch is so submissive it's embarrassing at times. If I shout too loud she cowers and rolls on her back. Super sensitive.

 

She isn't stock broken - which my pup will be.

 

She won't let me cut her nails - I've started getting my pup used to having her toes messed with and shown nail clippers etc.

 

Only minor things (well stock breaking is major in my book) but they piss me off and will be avoided with my pup.

 

When I got her she wouldn't jump, couldn't go near her food, pulled on the lead and cried in her kennel but I've sorted these issues out luckily.

 

I don't think I will buy in an adult again

1lb of tripe and a big juicy bone sorts that out

There have been times that ive taken on an adult dog to get me through the season,the same could be said of a lad starting out and wanting something he can instantly work.Its a case of doing a little homework,take the dog on trial before money is exchanged,test its obedience,training,reliability around stock etc.etc.Test its fitness and see if the dog is capable of meeting your requirements,then commit.There are honest lads about that because of genuine circumstance are able to offer such dogs,alas they are a very small minority and the majority of adult dogs available carry more than a few undesirable traits.The best and safest option is a pup,yet a genuine adult is a godsend at times.
