Nice looking pup, what's his age, breeding etc. (I would do something about that thing it is sitting on in the first pic all pups are looking for an excuse to injure themselves) good luck with its training & entering?

You will get plenty of advice on here, some will be very good & some not so good. You will soon be able to pick out the good from the bull###t. Pick what suits you. Personally I would say make the pup a part off the family, let her meet loads of people & other dogs, enter her to livestock ASAP & get a good recall the rest will follow. The only other thing I would say is don't enter her to hunting until she is mature enough. Most of all have fun she should serve you for many years to come?

Let thing be a pup don't chuck it work at a young age let it develope properly make training fun for it there will be moments where you want to kill the thing but the more effort you put in the more you get back simple really. As said stock break it. Working on retrieve can be done in your front room while your chilling out aswell as on walks. Like I said what you put in is what you get back. Nice looking pup all the best with it ??

Cheers for all the feedback fellas really appreciate it??

 

Ive got nothing but time to put in to her so really hoping I can get the best of the pup.

I always  had terriers as a kid I used to use for ratting, bushing and take ferreting with me, grew up with second uncles having running dogs, but this is my first so really wanna do the pup justice.
