adamb20 22 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 one of my mates has recently gone to jail. he has had a bull/whippet, (not sure maybee 3/4 whippet) since 7 month. it is nw 14month and never had much time spent with it. it is very livley, pulls constantly when in the field and is in poor shape due to little exercise. i feel sorry for the dog as it has been passed from owner to owner and i would like to try and turn it into a half decent dog. does any one have any tips or advice??

lilpip1234 62 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 just take it out with other dogs on the lamp so it can watch and learn, and try walking it on a choker for a while Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leegreen 2,250 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Keep it with you lots and exercise it regular. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brock1 2 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Give it lots of walks to get it used to the lead. If its stuben in the field & dosent respond to what you tell it be patiant & alway reward it for doing what you whant even if it takes ages becouse it will get faster at it pritty some. 1 runs better then 10 kill when your bringing a head strong pup on it has years of big bags ahead of it If you give it to much to soon it will try catching everything before it comes back wich is why lots of people think bullxs are head strong. Show it lots of live stock before you let it of the lead in a field full of live stock bullxs cant kill live stock pritty easy & get excited doing it so make sure you get that bit right before you take the risk. Good luke it might sound like hard work but its worth it when it all works out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
