  1. get her out more , she'll soon learn to avoid them
  2. The bull cross will have more than enough for what your looking for, its the job you give the dog that will decide what particular atribute, he puts to use,,,
  3. I think for me , a bit part of my hunting is knowing that the dogs achievements are down to the work put in , from the time it was a pup, same as watching your kid playing ball, its a sense of pride,
  4. she very young, just frustration ,theres a lot of conflicting advise on here about starting pups young, get her used to gates ,fences etc, build up her confidence out, but she dont need to see game til she's ready ,
  5. Mighty pups sam, anything grabed your eye on the litter yet,,
  6. Thats a smashing looking bitch Pipa,has she done much for ya,,
  7. some common ground there skycat, but 9 or 10 months is still a pup, i'd rather work with a clean slate,than a pup thats done too much, as long as the pup has been socialised ,and not a complete basket case ,,
  8. I've always tried to bring pups on ,reason being, that my way would be the only way the pup would know and you know what to expect from it,, Bought a first x collie lurcher years ago, good bitch , worked well and was happy with her, but never really took to her the same as ones i'd have reared from pups and wouldn't do it again, I've seen some good dogs bought it, and some real f**k ups, was wondering how the same experience has worked for ye lads,,
  9. Smart looking pair, what blood's in them
  10. never lifted a dog over a gate or fence in my life,even as pups,if im going into a field i know they are coming with me,its down to them how they do it,although i will say its dependant on the land you run obviously,which as i say for me,no need agree with ya there, completely buggered up a saluki lurcher one time getting her to jump a gate when she could have crawled under, she hit the ground hard on a rock or something, I leave it up to the dog to figure his own way now and you'll find they usually made the correct choice,
  11. Keen looking bitch, has she got through much work this year,,
  12. Tight looking dog that, I'd say there's a lot of terrier in his thinking, like him,,
  13. well said that mate ,as long as they try there best when out ,as they only get better with age and the right managment and a lot of patiance which some people havnt got .i picked a young bitch up at 6 months old and she is now 18 months ,when i first got her out in the field at 11 months old she wouldnt run a rabbit or leave my side or get out of the van even . a few took the piss but i laughed it off and said she,ll come good when she,s ready .she progressed slowly to running rabbit daytime and then onto the lamp ,she would run a rabbit on the lamp but not a hare proberbly looked to big for h
  14. And some dogs mature earlier than others too, not until hes reached about 4 years old , with still 4 good feet under him, then i think hes tested enough for me,
  15. Depends what the dog was intended for, you could have a man with a ferreting dog , which would be tested all its own game, rabbits,, while a fella with a big houndy dog, would have different intentions for his, and both would to tested at their chosen game,,,
  16. Its very rough terrain for sure, but no other type of lurcher being alive after a couple of hours is a bit tall for me,good lurchers adapt to what their given , if brought on right, good action in places, main dog in video may not be quiet as hard as some would like their fox dogs,
  17. That pup of your'se will be plenty big enough to do anything asked of him, going on the breeding,,
  18. Smart looking dog,i dont think theres much you could teach him, best of luck with him,
  19. there we go mate Nice bitch, have ya done much with her,,
  20. If your dog has the right drive he'll done it on his own, maybe be a little shocked when he hits his first and it hits him back, particularly if he's only done bunnies at that point,but if he's mature enough and ballsey enough, his drive will kick in,,only ever entered dogs on their tod, but only run lurchers with wheaton blood , can be different with other breeds,,
  21. One dog all jobs or as many as possible, if he gets injured its tough shit for me, but cant think any further then one dog at a time, he may not be the greatest at all of them, but he's very good at some of them,,
  22. They'll all do the job in the right circumstances, but id be looking for a 3/4 bred animal, you dont get alot of time with the red lad, and need to put him under pressure very fast,,
