terryd 8,397 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I have one he is about 7 years old now and spent 6 of that as house dog but I have started taking him ferreting hopefully just to mark. He is show bred but still has plenty of hunting instinct about him. I keep him on a long lead other because his marks so far are a bit vague before he just moves on at 100 mph. But on the lead he slows down and its up to me to spot when he marks. I thought I was wasting my time but this weekend I was quite chuffed. If he had been trained from a pup properly I think he would have been really good. Also great in the house can't fault him there Quote Link to post
