You don't say if you've got other dogs but if you haven't, you've got a perfect opportunity to get the "bond". It's in your hands. Good luck. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post

dev 227 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 you cant train her to hunt, give her the oppertunity and she will either do it or she wont, but nearly any terrier will hunt and bush rats and rabbits, good luck with the pup Quote Link to post
