bullmastiff 615 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 If its only done Reds so far, then it's going to be running hard and fast trying to smash in to the prey, which is great for red but useless for rabbits. It'll have to learn a new technique for running things that small and that can turn that fast! just give it time and let the dog learn its new quarry. As for pulling on the slip, I think any breed will if you let them, just a question of training to walk to heel. Only time Roo pulls is when theres a set of eyes glowing in the beam. Other than that, he walks quietly by my side. Most of all just get out there with him and have fun! you'll both learn loads, I know I am!!! Cheers Luke. Quote Link to post

bullcross1 10 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 for what you wanted a dog for in the firsrt place, id say you have choose the wrong type of dog for yourself, especially if your planning on running rabbitts and hares. Ive owned a few bull crosses and the best one that i owned was one like yours a do or die type, you will have a lot of fun with it if its made of the right stuff as these sort of dogs catch stuff what other dogs carnt ie catching in hedges and woodside etc, but you will just have to be prepared for big vet bills in the process, my advice would be get your own staple gun some aticeptic sprays antibiotics and few other bits and pieces so you u will be able to treat most miner cuts and tears your self. good luck these are just my personal views and im speaking from my own exspeariance Quote Link to post
