stroller 341 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 We are puppy walking one on the farm at the minute a little bvitch that is kenneled with a collie pup of the same age and i can honestly say they are the numbest beasts ever, lovely nature but driven by instinct and hundreds of years of selective breeding to hunt and run not think. Fearless and game and i personally think they are beautiful animals but they belong in a pack 1 Quote Link to post
Siegfried 2 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Having had a 3 legged hound that I removed its leg when it was 11weeks old, please forget even trying to fully domesticate your hound. We would never part with our bundle of trouble, and my god she has been trouble for 11years, but she is the most amazing creature as well. No food is safe, even in containers or cupboards, or for that matter in the fridge or oven. She can eat as if she has never been fed EVER!!! 6kg of tripe fat was no problem and though she looked pregnant, she was not and never has been ill . The adage that you may take the hound out of the pack but not the pack out of the hound is absolutely correct. You may think you have "trained" her BUT forget it she will in 10secs if there is food or kids around. We share her unintentionally with our next door neighbour as she goes around and sleeps on their beds etc ( we have understanding friends ) and have a 5 mile Corel watch of people that know her and love her. She is loveable,and unrully at the same time. We would not part with her or give her to our worse enemy She s just Corel and she does what she wants. Ps I am a Gundog trainer and run classes, forget the foolishness about training a hound not to be a hound. 2 Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Get another, get some gps and use them to legally flush foxes to the gun? On a similar note i have been half training a mixed hound as a cover dog and plan to try to shoot over her, but she is NOT a pure fox hound, but a beagle/teckle. At the moment she has good recall on the whistle, stops on the whistle, retrieves, is broken to the gun, sits and heals.Starting on stay now. Quote Link to post

alimac 882 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Not met him but a whip that was there for a while is now the huntsman up here. We got some pups from a litter he bred about July time & have got a fair bit of his stuff in our lot. Quote Link to post
millerscorners 0 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 you can make a useful dog out of a hound puppy-not necessarily a lab or spaniel but not a complete idiot either -most dumb hounds and dogs are that way because nobody taught them different-the best way to instill discipline in a hound pack is to walk them out with the staff-works when you only have one too-lots of people here use one hound to drive game-teach them manners and half the battle is won Quote Link to post

alimac 882 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yep, Lovely Bloke Went down to his last Tuesday to drop a bitch off to be covered, had a bit of fun on the hill out to hamsterly.. The 10 hour round trip made for a long day though. They can go some mind, very impressive Quote Link to post
WILF 44,177 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 10 hour round trip...... An hour there, and hour back, two hours on the hill and six hours on the grog is more the story! Lol Quote Link to post
Hands of Stone 154 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 If you got him hunting pheasants (which would be pretty easy) he would probably be pretty handy for long range dogging in,lol but im guessing he'd be hard mouthed as hell for actual gun dog work?? Looking at some responses you get to virtually any topic you post on here and you'd be forgiven for thinking that is some one has perfected teaching monkeys to type! Mind you, for small walk around days he be a one dog beating team! Good luck Quote Link to post
