What Am I Doing Wrong

[colliexgreyhound 119]

In the past 5 years I've reared 4 lurcher pups with the intention of using them on foxes. Everyone of them hasn't made the grade and all where from single handed parents. Never entered them too early and always entered them alongside an experienced dog for the first 4 or 5 goes. 1 pup who was 3/4 greyhound collie just barked its head of at them. Another was a deerhound bull x he showed great potential with another dog took teeth and never bothered him in the slightest but wouldn't do them single handed just ran them till they got away. The last two where brother and sister they where 9/16 greyhound 7/16 bull probably the best bred pups I'll likely ever get hold of but the bitch has no interest whatsoever apart from rabbits the dog dances round foxes nipping and barking at them. They are 18 months old. What am I doing wrong.

You say the bull x pups( well bred) are 18month?. How old were they when you ran them on fox? Maybe wait till they fully matured ?

R u too strict with them ? Sounds like they are all suffering from lack of drive and confidence. ? Just a thought mate

Some will take them, some need abit more time to mature into it. Only 18months still got time

true but he already tried them and decided they not up to the job. ..so he must have tried them too young?

4 dogs in 5years......not all dogs wanna get involved with such things at 12months old. Let em grow up and maybe get behind a few rabbits. Some will some wont, it dosnt make your cock any bigger if they do!.

Cheers, matt.

P.s. If it's only foxes you want get a .243

Could be 2 reasons mate , your dogs have been tested to early and been put off by the sharp end or they lack gameness .

Pups have all had a lot of rabbits before I tried them and the collie and bull deerhound where 8 and 10 months when I got them
