We were rabbiting on The Plains one morning,..

A lad, down from Wales, had brought along a nice powerful, blue lurcher bitch.

The man had only owned the bitch for a day or so,.. and she was noticeably, confused....

He told us to watch how quick the bitch was, and maintained that in her last billet in Yorkshire,.she was mopping up rabbits and hares, no problem...Truth was, she definitely looked the part, and we had no reason to doubt his words,..well,...until a rabbit bolted and ran straight over my feet, almost into the bitches mouth....

We were all shocked, as she stood and watched the rabbit run off into the distance !

It took quite a while for this sad critter to adapt to her new owner,...and the facts are, some dogs do, and sadly, some dogs don't..

Why would you take a new dog straight out ferreting.how do u know it's stock broken.recalls. retrieve. Etc.first I'd bond with it.teach it retrieve etc before taking it hunting.I wish I could buy s dog doing the business for 2oo notes.

[blackmaggie 3,376]

your lucky in the fact you have a dog at that age thats a blank canvas and not been ruined already and he will have all summer to get to know and bond with each other the fact it came back or didnt kill the ferrets is a bonus i take it hes only just got the dog so put the hours in training bonding maybe let it see another dog have a run later on when all the basics are in place its unsure what is expected of it and and some dogs wont run for another man or retrieve when another dogs there they can be funny things at times but patience and bonding and a bit of encouragement and im sure it will come good

Couple of things -

 

Why not trial an 18 month old dog? Depends what has been said of it? I.e If it's seen anything at all. But i'd at least want to know it isn't a stock killer etc. We are not talking about trying to catch a bag full with it!

 

Secondly - Met a few dogs who just thought their new owner was a knob at first . . . . . . and wouldn't work for them. Knew of a terrier that would not go to ground for new owner at all. . . .. as soon as original owner showed up to be shown problem. . . . . . dog flew to ground!

In all honesty what could you get from a sapling trial?only the basics,any half bred mongrel will show basics at 18 months of age,few of them will show anything like their breeding until at least their second season,the best of mutts seldom come into their own until they have had at least 3 seasons under them.Ill agree that a youngster may show promise at 18 months,promise is often a veil many mutts hide assunder.

OK this calls for the "Mary" technique; feed the dog 3gs of amphetamine sulphate 1hour before you go ferreting. Wind the dog up a bit before hunting using a home made cattle prod (the best use a capacitor from an old telly) then watch the fuckerr kill everything in sight

or it may even bite your face off

I suppose it depends what has been said of the dog.

 

It's a bit of a blind area for me as I have never bought an adult running dog.

 

If i'd been told that it was just starting to lamp etc. Well, i'd probably just be keen to see it's general manners in the day, recall etc and it's temperament. And would like to see it around stock, and wouldn't mind seeing it have a go on the lamp, just a couple of slips, just to get a feel for the dog.

 

Although i'm quite possibly wrong?

small price to pay for a top class working dog IMO

Saplings have an honest habit of hiding their second and third season faults,their true vocation in reality.Its impossible to get an honest trial out of any mutt that is at least a season away from its honest intent.

So if I said my dog can catch on the lamp (which my last dog could and well)..... and you wouldn't want to see if I was being honest before parting money??
