I usually end up with little b*****ds, why has this one not caused me any significant drama as of yet? In the words of the blessed Margaret Thatcher; “ Rejoice, just rejoice”. Im just having a bit of fun mate, best of luck with your pup ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post

Get him ferreting , enjoy what you've got.... I may soon be eating my words when he comes of age. I've got a lovely little ferreting permission awaiting us in the coming months. I may give him a handful of days mid to late season all being well. 1 Quote Link to post

poxon 5,722 Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 Nowt wrong with a pup wanting to be by your side all the time mate it soon changes once they start catching stuff I say it’s a blessing tbh got to be better than a pup /young dog running off on scent in to the distance that it’s got little to no hope of catching I personally recon sticky pups make a better bond and tend to work well with there owners rather than for there self a sticky pups good because basic training becomes super easy you don’t even have to manipulate them because it’s naturally there that they want to be by your side an please you I’ll take a sticky pup over a pup that wonders off or buggers off any day of the week 1 Quote Link to post
fred90 3,205 Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 it divides opinions, he's young so time yet, what some call sticky others would say no interest, personally I like a pup using it's nose early, wanting to find out what's around the corner, I would rather have to reign a dog in the have to gee it up, the keener the better. 1 Quote Link to post
OldPhil 5,672 Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 (edited) "Right there Fred"..... Personally,...I like my rabbit dogs on a warren as soon as they have had their Jabs,....lots to learn and so many events to experience... Its a big old world out there for a young pup and the sooner he gets to learn and understand what the score is, the better. I like to keep a working dog for several years,..it is an investment and a valuable item, so its well worth putting some effort into early education. Unless a fellow is an exceptionally interesting raconteur ,.it is unlikely that a puppy is hanging on your heels due to your sparking personality.. More likel;y,..it just lacks confidence,... The handler's task is to walk tall, be the man,.. let the tyke know that there is nothing to fear and everything to gain by getting into the hunt... My great pleasure is watching a youngster show some early promise , using his nose, twigging onto the game, and like myself, maybe sometimes just sitting quiet, and simply watching the world go by.. Facts are,...some folk don't get the best out of a pup,...they maybe take things too seriously,...they just just don't understand the benefit of allowing a pup , to be a pup....
