YES BUT HOW DO YOU TRAIN THEM TO DO THAT

Try to get out with someone experianced that can show you the ropes. Its not really as simple as giving in structions on how to train them as every dog will respond different to certain situations.

 

No offence pal, but it dont seem like your ready to be keeping a lurcher, if your asking questions like that.

 

Good luck with the pup, I hope its a natural for you ;)

most of these thing come naturaly so if its a smart dog it should teach its self as long as you take it often enough and dont let it do any of the wrong things just start it slow one thing at a time the first step is to make sure the dog wont touch the ferrets

Was just thinking something similar myself :D

 

Those cage traps look the business, I reckon they could be a very handy tool for the lone ferreter :thumbs:

 

I agree with the digging as well, if a rabbits been killed, or in the process of being killed, I like a dog which will dig down and draw it out, very handy indeed :thumbs:

the cages are called tunnel traps.

you can get double ones aswell.

this means that you can just leave the rabbits in whilst ferreting the warren.

you can get up to four in a double one.

saves messing around trying multi rask so much when on youre own
