Catching and killing foxes is what they're good at so hopefully the pups will do the same. He looks well mate atb longers01 Quote Link to post

Also depends how much you do. Might have five seasons and five foxes a season, or two seasons and 40 a season. 2 Quote Link to post

Me and a couple lads I run with always thought like this thinking dogs need 6 or 7 seasons under them to breed from and in thinking like this missed the chance of breeding from a couple very good animals that have died into the feild because we thought we do another season before we breed etc now we lost waht we had and in last 3 or 4 years lost some very good dogs between us and basicly all had to source pups or young adult lurchers what have yet to be entered before buying or getting gifted.

I've never had a dog jack after it's second season be it lurcher or terrier, I know it happens but there's usually a bit more to it than just spewing, I'm in no way condoning breeding from young or untried dogs but after a couple of seasons of graft and as long as everyone is upfront and honest about the situation I've never seen the problem with it. Like you say some don't make old bones and it's usually the gooduns. So if you think you've something special in your kennels get it bred and fcuk what others have to say. 4 1 Quote Link to post

I was in the same situation, had a half x he some dog, took everything. Was planning on studding him to get a pup for myself, then was out lamping one night he callopsed then died by the time we got home. I was gutted. Sourced a pup from supposedly good stock and the thing jacked after its 5th Charlie. Luckily got a collie bull grey doing everything I want, I will be taking a pup from her at the end of the season. She is 6 year old now so seen everything I have needed to see. 1 Quote Link to post
