dillydog 8,403 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Yeah I appreciate what everyone is saying now, but I felt people jumped the gun abit with what my intentions where, its just what I've been told to do by others, what's the longest any of you have had to wait until your pups have been ready? Some Bedlington owner have waited years!!! I've run out of likes, I'd just like to make sure you know first hand how much I appreciate that lol Edited October 5, 2017 by dillydog 1 Quote Link to post
dillydog 8,403 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Some are gagging for work at 12 months and under, some aren't ready mentally until just shy of 2 years old. Even when they're started it doesn't mean you can throw work at them, you've still got to hold them back or find the right sort of earth's for their ability. Some thrive off more work, some thrive off a more steady approach, welcome to the headache of the working terrier world. Edited October 5, 2017 by dillydog 8 Quote Link to post

foxdropper 17,091 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Read the whole thread through and one things very clear mate. You know more about the game than you are letting on .The hole ending thing is probably what you usually do ,have done and your testing the waters here to see if it's commonplace. Not amongst lads with decent gear it's not as there is no need, serves no other purpose other than to fire up a dog needlessly to take reckless punishment or refuse to look again at all . Welcome to the site but keep it real mate. 7 Quote Link to post
leethedog 3,071 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 It's not about forcing anything to do anything, even if it was desperate to get in I still wouldn't let it walk on to teeth. Most youngsters out of curiosity would have a look, but without them knowing what is about to happen it's like sending the innocent to slaughter. Hole ending is baiting a captive animal, apart from being illegal it's just plain stupid. Find a dead fox on the road, ask someone else to get you one, it doesn't matter if it's shot or a road accident victim. All your pup needs to know is it's fun to play with and it'll remember that smell next time out, if it's bred right it'll go. I think this is the most helpful advice on this thread take it 2 Quote Link to post
