crorider 174 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 crorider, i wont go down the road of what tag to put onyour canine buddy, but if i were you i would not go looking for permision just yet, leave that to people who have the right tools for the job. by that i mean trained dogs that know the trade, i would reccomend finding somewhere that holds a few bunnys and walking the fields and hedgerows, so nobody new is allowed to get into this game then? trying to be helpful here, if i was better at typing this would come across better. ok, well thanks. well somebody has offered to take me and my dog ferreting to show us the ropoes as they think thats a better way to introduce my dog to rabbiting. would you agree with this?

little jack 14 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 as long as your dog is ok with ferrets Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crorider 174 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 probably not lol. maybe i should get my own ferrets and introduce him to them? But hes always in the bushes and twice now a rabbit has come running out of there while hes still in there so thats why i wanted a proper lurcher to chase the bolters but everyones telling me not to get a second dog when the first ines not trained yet?? Will they actually need training for daytime walks hoping to catch the occasional bunny? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise the new pup will follow the bad habits of the other one. And you will end up with a pack of unruly dogs causing mayhem to the local wildlife. If you are serious about wanting and working lurchers then yes, they do need to be trained. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

little jack 14 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 what ever you do dont take your dog out with someones ferrets if you are not 100 percent that it wont attack them. as for experience dogs can only learn by being taken out and finding out the hard way. trial and error. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
