    if you would be happy to use it thats up to you. if i wanted a stud for a bitch of mine i wouldnt want to see a 2 and half year old dog prove itself in the field, i'd want a 5 or 6 or 7 year old still at the top of its game showing me the job, especially for the job this type needs to be doing.

    you got it wrong lads. I wasnt asking to bred him becasue of what he is doing... Just for the dog he is, we get asked quite abit if we would line him, thats all. I dont want a pup out of him. If anything we want to bring the size down. And we arent bothered if he bred tomorrow or 5 yrs. Was just offering him out as young fit big bullx with a heart that will die for you.. He may jack tomorrow, he may die tomorrow, who knows. Desperate, he has already lined a bitch mate. We wont be having a pup. so you've lined a bitch with a sapling stud dog that has seen very little work you don'

    i find it odd that rfyl is offering his dog to stud at 2 and half year old. there's probably a thousand dogs with the physical attributes your dog has to offer with the level of gameness it has. of that thousand, probably a hundred will go on to have an unblemished career and hold the gameness needed to earn the right as a stud dog. what you have done rfyl is lower yourself to the same level as the young lads and puppy peddlers you so enjoy slagging off in the pups for sale section. these peddlers are your potential client base, as anyone with the right mind who cares about their working lines

    fair play to you flint,you seem to have developed a cross that can withstand the rigours of running on frozen ground. at first i didnt see the point of the breed when there are perfectly good collie cross lines about but you seem to have found a niche where this type can excell. in an earlier post on this thread i stated that malc and trigger must be running a type of dog that isnt the fastest type about (unless on good ground) and think we can agree on that. so to summarise, on frozen ground, a steady running dog, properly exercised with feet built for arctic conditions can actually hunt sati

    depends what ground your on really. if your running grassings like paddocks etc you may get away with the ground frozen as long as there's enough frozen grass to cushion the foot as it pounds the ground. i still wouldnt consider running a dog on any frozen ground though to be honest. i take it malc and trigger are running slower paced dogs as a tight turning fast dog will bust itself up in no time no matter what type of frozen ground its running on. atb

    coursing, coursing and more coursing will get it fit. run the hares on the fens to get it fit. if it cant stop them there when fit, it never will. atb

    take it out mate, but only for a couple of runs. select the runs so it has a chance of putting a bend in. you wont do it no harm. atb

    its true i think lamping has the more dangers for a dog running a quarry. a lot of dogs down our way tended to be claimed by wide dykes resulting in broken limbs and more so broken necks. it is an occupational hazard with no foolproof solution but you can give your dog a chance by lighting the ditch/dyke for a couple of seconds when the quarry is 10 yard or so away from it. the dog wont usually lose sight of the quarry as it should be close enough to see the silhouette of the prey. i know it wont cure the dyking problem but i've seen it many times where a dog has just enough time to adjust its

    had a bitch bred that way a few years ago. she was 23 tts, weighed 50lb was racey but strong with it. she was nearly always the catch dog when doubled up and dealt with everything single handed up to and including roe (she never saw anything bigger). she had great prey drive from an early age that never waned up until cancer beat her at 11 year old. speed and stamina was abundant but she did smash her feet up regular leaving her with 2 straight toes. i'd recommend the cross, you get good and bad in every type but reckon i was one of the luckier ones so would like another go at one. do you know

    plenty of patience and praise when it goes well. just you and the dog go out alone so you can pick and choose your runs so your pup will definately put a bend in the quarry. let the pup have a breather between runs and most important dont give her too many chases because if frustration creeps in, yapping while it chases is most difficult to cure. best of luck

    same here shushycatcher, small pan of cold water did it for me. first couple of times tail wagging until it gets the water, then after all i had to do was show it the pan from the kitchen window!

    myself i would always go best to best worker where possible. its always a lottery though and like others have said a lot of it is down to the training but you must have something in the dog to work with i believe. speed would be the base ingredient for me followed by conformation of parents. its no use having the best striking/hardest dog if it doesnt get there in the first place. dont under estimate the runt of the litter either, i've seen some belters over the years!
  14. predatorman
    well done, and a cracking looking pup too!
  15. predatorman
    best of luck mate

    try her on her own now and again is good advice, it also lessens the chance of a collision between the two dogs of quite a weight and size difference. not just caution on the smaller dog, even the bigger dog can come off worse sometimes mate. atb

    well done lads, good days sport! atb

    well done mate, nice pics too.
  20. predatorman
    good pic. the work wont hurt him its sorts the good dogs from the bad. cheer mate well done malk1. theres nowt wrong with showing the pup what happens and giving them the odd slip now and again at that early age. i started mine at 4 and half month doubled with another pup of the same age and they both went on to be prolific dogs. they retired at 9 and 10. if its got it, its got it! atb
  21. predatorman
    well done bratton, sounds like your doing a great job. atb
  22. predatorman
    some very good advice in that post. first rule of bring a pup on, let it run quarry that you know it can put a bend in. your positioning when slipping the dog is crucial to making the pup thinking its the best thing since sliced bread and that it has a chance everytime its released. trying to get rabbits sat further up the hedge can be frustrating even for seasoned dogs, sometimes encouraging them to hunt up and find an easier target themselves. best of luck
