im taking my terrier to rat later today, he's just 6 months old, lakeland x border, my mates russell is coming too,

he has told me that my dog should be ready for foxes now, but i think he's a bit young yet, he is a very strong dog, he has given his 3 year old russell a seeing to 2 days ago, but i think i could ruin him, am i right or should i let him do what's natural to him.

6 Months old,get rid of your mate he hasnt a clue,you will wreck the dog its a pup even if it did enter it would get smashed to bits a jack before you know it wait wait wait you need to have patients in this game,the only patients we are going to here about is the wee pup hold it back untill 12months to 18 months and see what hes made of with an experienced dog,dont let him off lead round holes cos if you keep shouting at him no when he trys to go he never will! Good luck take it SLOW.

Id be showing my dogs more respect than u show ur mate.. If i were u id get in with some lads that know about dogs n their quarry.. 6 months old is way too early for any dog to seen quarry of a larger magnitude, he's only just old enough for rats.. Keep him on rats for a few months.. Wait n be patient n when u think he's ready wait some more, it'l pay off in the long run..

foxs ur jokin

definately no foxes at that age mate and as one of the lads said get rid of ur mate an get outwith someone who knows what the are doing. Your mate hasnt got a clue, u can work away at the rats wit your dog for now but dont show him a fox until next season he should be mature enough than to start. Ye might hear of boys gettin dogs started at 6 months but that few and far between and just luck that they dont chuck it.

A friend of me is a German trainer for huntingdogs.

He would never let a 6 month old Terrier on fox, no matter if the dog want it or not.

You ruin the dog.

I think your mate doesn't know much about Terrier.

YOU HAVE TO WONDER HOW MANY WELL BRED TERRIERS ARE RUINED BY IGNORANT OWNERS THEN GET PASSED ON GIVING A BAD NAME TO THE FOLK THAT BRED THEM A GOOD AGE TO START A YOUNG TERRIER IS BETWEEN 18 MONTHS TO TWO YEARS OLD. A LITTLE EARLIER IF YOU KNOW THE BREEDING WELL ENOUGH.

thanks for advice
