hi longdog 13,
thankyou for your advice,i will try to find someone who goes ratting, to see if i can tag along.
as regards to the basic training, i bought the dog from a guy at 8 months old, she lived in a very small run with a kennel, she had,had no training what so ever,not even sit,stay,lay down or come hear, and was barely let out of the run at all,like i say,i have only owned for 10 weeks now,and i am doing the basic training,and she has come on leaps and bounds,but it seems to go,1 step forward,and 2 steps back at times,especially the recall.
thanks tillylamp.
