deanflute 550 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hello folks. Can anybody in Yorkshire help me out with stock breaking my pup? All the land I have access to doesn't hold stock so I just need somewhere to give her a walk round, obviously I'm not just going to walk onto stocked land and do it myself so any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to post
LIGHT ON LIGHTS OUT 71 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hello folks. Can anybody in Yorkshire help me out with stock breaking my pup? All the land I have access to doesn't hold stock so I just need somewhere to give her a walk round, obviously I'm not just going to walk onto stocked land and do it myself so any help would be greatly appreciated Plenty of sheep and cattle on peaks mate, with loads of public footpaths through fields.

bird 9,873 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 well if it was me and didn't know any farmers to talk to, I would find out who owns what by where you live, get the names of who they are .And go dressed up maybe just after tea time , and knock there doors . say somting like this I ve got a young pup that I want to show it sheep, as I feel that all dogs should be trained and 100% around stock. say all I want to do is just let him see them on the lead few day s a week un till he knows what there are .and then just show him them the odd day. don't mention any form of hunting at all , now to me I think most farmers would respect that approach and let you do it I still show my dogs sheep once a week every week one 7 1/2 one 2 1/2 1 Quote Link to post

I drive to a place about 40 mins away with public footpaths and lots of sheep. Broke my pup to them there and still take her once a week to mooch amongst them. Quote Link to post

dodger 2,761 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Be careful stock training now lads if no permission as there all in lamb.. 6 Quote Link to post
white van man 3,310 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Dean. As dodger said mate a lot of sheep are in lamb now so farmers will be twitchy. If you find a half decent farmer near you then he might let you take the dog around the Rams If he has split them from the ewes. Take her out on footpaths on a long lead that way if she does go then no harm done. It's better than nothing at the mo. Her brother was fairly good from the start so can't see it taking long to get her sorted. Edited January 30, 2015 by white van man Quote Link to post
bird 9,873 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Be careful stock training now lads if no permission as there all in lamb.. good point , yeh maybe wait till the lambs on the deck , its only about 4-5 weeks then ask the farmer then .And seeing the lambs that another thing the pup got to learn, because dogs that 100% with sheep , can act different to seeing lambs about, if they not used to seeing them , don't forget they look+ move different . yeh prob good time to take pup when the lambs are here, get used to to both then Quote Link to post
DogFox123 1,379 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Get yourself on Langsett, plenty of sheep around for you. 1 Quote Link to post
deanflute 550 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Cheers, I'll take it all on board Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Dean why not do the same as plenty of others.... Dont bother your arse putting the effort in, simply wait till full grown, run em through sheep and if they grab an kill one, kick holy shite out of it and put a post up here asking about shock collars. Much more fun than putting all that time in with puppys! Quote Link to post

Haha now that did tickle me but it wouldn't be the first topic on here if you done what he says lol..I think the advice of keeping on a long leash is sensible advice just now with the ewes all being in lamb..not worth getting any mither Dean..farmers ain't the most forgiving of people at any time lol and it's better to be safe than sorry buddy.
