Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 My own time with a youngster is spent one to one and they certainly dont need to watch anything to know whats required when the time comes .Better spending time just mooching than on a lead .Owners that tie pups at a dig are usually the same not averse to hole ending ,a practice i detest where more dogs than enough are ruined but just my own opinion mind . 8 Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 The only thing tying a pup up at a dig achieves is to turn the dog into an exitable screaming lunatic spinning on the end of its chain ........ 2 Quote Link to post
Bustersback!!! 23 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) I never said don't take mine out, I was saying I wouldn't take a youngster on a dig. Every pup I have gets walked out with my little pack from 8 weeks old, they see dead game and run empty pipes and check little earths (empty) before they are old enough to work. If it keeps him and you happy good for you, it's a nice pup by the way. Edited December 22, 2015 by Bustersback!!! Quote Link to post

End of the day I couldn't just keep a young dog at home keep feeding him clearing he's shit up patting in the head . To me that's boring much more fun getting them out and seeing the sights and sounds be that having a dig or whatever as long as it's out the pen I'm happy ? 3 Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Seems to be some confusion here bud .I dont leave pups in kennels until they are ready .I walk them ,socialise them ,take them ratting but i never tie one at a dig .Dont tell me lads that do tie them arnt averse to hole ending as ive seen it .The temptation for some is overwhelming but like i said just my opinion .If you think a pup benefits from being tied and cant get then crack on ,your feeding it . 1 Quote Link to post

An already fired up youngster that can hear the battle underground can get themselves into a right fukcing frenzy and once they start with that nonsense it's a nightmare to cure ....... 3 Quote Link to post

And I'm not saying that people haven't ever hole ended a pup but was saying its a sweeping statement to say people that tie pups up near digs are more liable to lol . Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Not that i do this mind but IMO if a pup dosnt get a bit excited at a dig then id say its too young to be there and if it does youve sprobably sown the seeds for a spinner ,squealer as no one in their right mind would scold a pup at a dig surely .Far better to take the pup quietly to an earth when its of an age and let it see for itself what lies within but again OMO. 2 Quote Link to post

An already fired up youngster that can hear the battle underground can get themselves into a right fukcing frenzy and once they start with that nonsense it's a nightmare to cure ....... it depends on the youngster common sense dictates that if a young pup is playing up then he's taught the error of he's ways or else not tied near a dig I agree on that . But I've got to say I've had loads that are ok calm until it's needed and then switch on types they're the ones I prefer . Now to say all it achieves socks is an loony again is a sweeping statement because it's not all it achieves . Quote Link to post
