Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 No reason why not. Get it out from young respecting ferrets and nets. I have seen some bull crosses with fantastic noses. Quote Link to post

beast 1,884 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 there are many little tricks of the trade that erreting dogs learn, but there is one basic lesson that is the foundation of everything else. the dog has to learn that if it waits patiently then it will get the chance to chase something. simple as that. so start the dog with easy burrows (not many holes, out in the open, and hopefully not a very long wait for a bolt) and it will learn the art of patience. quite how good it will end up depends on lots of different factors, but i think most dogs can learn the basic skill of ferreting 2 Quote Link to post
