  1. It's a big responsibility to have a dog that can do harm,even if some toe rags deserve it. 

     Becomes even more serious if they are trained to bite ,and you better have faith in your dogs training and socialization. 

     A big dopey Barker would be enough for me.

    - Only ever bring one pup on to train and that training will take about 2 years, dont let your head get turned whilst its ongoing.

    - Never get jealous of someone else training their pup, put all your effort into your own.

    - For the first 6 months of its life its a 'puppy', not a lurcher, so train it as one.

    - Good recall is a must but they aint robots, so there will be slip up's now and again.

    - Never over do retrieve training, it should always be a game.

    - Teach a pup to jump but don't overface it.

    - Make sure your pup is stock trained.

    - If your pup is to be primarily a lamper, then start it off on the lamp. Same for a ferreting dog, or a busher, start them first at their main game.

    - Never expect a perfect retrieve after a first catch. Even the best of trained pups get a bit giddy first time.

    - Once you've started them, then keep it going, the best dogs are made from what you can put infront of them.

    - Appreciate your dog for what it is... Your hunting partner!

  4. Of course you'll never know what worker you may be investing in for maybe a year or 2. Conversely you can't see if  an 8 week old pup will be a looker, some don't blossom into lookers even though they were nice pups

      I certainly wouldn't pick a stud dog on looks  or colour . But you may like a "type" be that build ,size , or coat ,and that may suit where you work the dog ,or may prefer racy over strong . I think we all have one eye on certain things that appeal .

  5. It's 9 year old if it's still alive it must have done something right for someone I guess.

    I never once said the dog has jacked .

    For what it's worth he looks a nice type,

    And hope for his sake he does well for you.

    And sorry where I've put "for sale "  read it as given away
