alreet lads looks a crackin day out that well done.what age would you put a lurcher pup on rats to get used to bites cheerslb

Hi L+B

I would say it depends how many rats and how long it takes, a good session would likely knacker a pup out quickly, 7 or 8 month most dogs would be able to enjoy a decent session killing rats.

thanks mate my pup is 6 month old i wouldent say i would get loads but a cupple ov rats i done a lot ov rattin a few years ago and thought it was mint had a cupple ov terriers then, but im more into my runnin dogs used to go to a pig farm in crook was fekin hundreds ov the little bliters never put a lurcher on them but i can imagine that they would get the pup used to -the odd bite and learn to kill quick but would they make her hard mouthed ?lb

I dont count myself as experienced enough to answer that mate, ive only trained up one lurcher, well a half bull/grey, he was started on bunnies and was hard mouthed anyway, so probably wouldnt have made a difference to him. But im planning on a more traditional type for rabbits and that, so its something Im also asking

I would think it would be to risky if your wanting a retrieve without being hard mouthed, its a tricky question though as i use my spaniels ratting all the time, and they are still soft mouthed retrieving game, they know when to use their bite. But like i say ive not had the personal experience of ratting with lurchers............ :hmm:hmmmm..... why dont you try it, then if your dog ends up hard mouthed il know not to do it!!Only joking!
