jack12 0 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 hi ive got two JTR pups how old will they be when they want to kill rabbits etc and any good tips. Quote Link to post
waidmann 105 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 a hard one to answear, the obvious one is when they are ready.i take my pup out with the ferrets as often as poss and he is catching on quick( 5.5 months). if they are from working stock they should be ok. dont rush it and let them learn from an expierianced dog if you have the opportunity. atb Quote Link to post

Rainmaker 7 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 You've got two JR pups and you're advertising for more, in the plural? Quote Link to post
waidmann 105 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 even if not from working stock they MIGHT make reasonable dogs,depending on the heart of the dog(i've seen good ratters turn bolters from farm/stable stock.on the other hand i've seen russels with queen anne legs who were nervous,loud mouthed cowards who don't deserve the name of a terrier!!). if a dog has good nerves and is confident he could be ok. the importance of selective breeding( workerxworker) cannot be overstressed imo. atb Quote Link to post
