paulus 26 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 The young bitch I have here would have fecked right off if you took her straight out and expected her to work ... She is a very loyal bitch and although loves attention from everybody once I am not around she don't like it and will search high heaven for me ......... if you ask some of the lads off here i have taken roost shooting old flash will not do anything for anybody else he will just sit there no matter how many pigeons are falling around him Quote Link to post
legacy2013 52 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 With it being an older dog that has done a fair bit i think it just in them, when the lamp comes out they no what the job in hand is they are trained to chase and whether they catch or not it is instilled into them if trained to return to you, that is their only job...

Astanley 11,565 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I would advise building a bond with the dog first , but sometimes you just click ,I bought an adult dog once , and from meeting the dog in the sellers yard and the journey home ,I just knew we were ok ,I cant ever remember putting a lead on that dog and it was 3 when I bought it . 1 Quote Link to post

keepdiggin 9,559 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 you feed the dog up to you how you work it. 1 Quote Link to post
legacy2013 52 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Exactly, for example if you were getting a terrier on trial and say that trial was for a week, you wouldn't let it settle in for six days and take it on the last day, same i suppose with lurchers, as has been said there here for a reason, they are a tool, and up to now she's doing the business... 1 Quote Link to post

He'll do anything for me, he's not keen on strangers and wouldn't look the road you were on even if you tried to feed him a full chicken...... If he was to try and live with someone else no way could you let him off the lead and try to lamp him no way would he retrieve or anything like that..... And to be honest I like the fact he's well both mine are like that just bucks worst..... I brought older dogs in in the past and they've settled and run within 24hrs. But to be fair probably cause there used to beening moved about 1 Quote Link to post
