legacy2013 52 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 cheers lads, i didn't force her to go, litarally let her mark, stepped back 4 or 5 yards and just took lead of her off and she went straight down, i appreciate the advice, didn't dig to her either just pulled her out as she went across 1 of the holes, was i wrong for doing that??

jonesy 111 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 If you don,t think she was on game you done the right thing pulling her,try and find some smaller spots for her if you can,i know sometimes its easier said than done,patience is probably the best thing. 1 Quote Link to post

bull mcabe 595 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 No you wernt wrong doin that once you were satisfied she ran the whole earth. When there young and green they could try an earth for an eternity just tryin to make a fox but if the breedings right they soon settle down its all a learning curve with them there not born knowing everything some might take longer than others to get the hang of things and on the other hand you get the ones that seem to take it all in ther stride.

legacy2013 52 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thats the thing, other ones i've had hav just done it, i had a little pat bitch who self entered at 16 mnth, she stayed and didn't look back she would only mark if ther was one at home from that age so this is a bit of a learning curve for me Quote Link to post

rossthedog 76 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 She's doing exactly what you would expect from a young keen terrier if she's working through an earth having a look good, now its up to you to g eet her out as often as possable ang get some quarry in front of her . 1 Quote Link to post
