whats the chances

[watchman 256]

to be like this with the ferrets

 

she is now nearly 2 years old(about 6 months old when i got her)never been broken to the ferrets and definitely still showing an unhealthy interest in them,never needed her to be broken to them,she is out and out lamping bitch, but as my pup is well at home in their company just wondered what the chances of getting her broken to them are.

she has regular access to them,well around the hutches i mean,have held them in front of her,telling her to leave but soon as she can she makes a grab at them,yeah i know bit of training eh lol,any little tips would be great but if its not to be its not the end of the world,

cheers rob

Had a first x beddy hound bitch in the past,very usefull on all game,never came across a ferret till she was about 4,was out with a few lads ferreting one day not really my thing at the time so i was holding her well back, at one stage the bloody ferret came flying out of a hole and she lunged at it, i thought it was a goner,but she didn't touch it, looking back on it after , i think she had made an assocation between the ferret and us ,She had been shown a lot of work at that stage, and could pick up on my emotions in a given situation very quick,not sure what would have happened if she was the same age as your bitch, but at the same time your bitch will also have seen that same assocation between you and the ferret, Also a dog uses its mouth like we use our hands to feel something, and sometimes need to mouth something to get a clear picture of what it is .Having said that, its your ferret Rob,and at what stage do you take the risk or maybe never, Its a tricky one i know,, best of luck,

thats what i like about you dave,f**k ALL, you still pounding your show dog on that treadmill

[danman 27]

who cares about a dogs collar on a hunting forum, nice dog watchmen. it will be hard at this stage to break you bull x to ferrets depends on the dog really does it want to kill everything, yuo could try a muzle at first to see what it thinks of them and show him them every day.

[watchman 256]

hunterdave is a good bloke lads,friend of mine,just taking the piss,although yes he is a bit of a :wankerzo4: so no worries lol,

dont think its ever going to happen,the bitch just wants to kill them unfortunately,never mind thanks anyway

[jackson2kaii8 5]

Friend of mine had a deerhound x hound and one day about 20 ferrets got out of one of the cages and all the dogs killed the ferrets tat went into their kennels except the deerhound the man found the ferret and the dog asleep in the dog box and the deerhound was about 7 and never been broken to ferrets

[longdog13 36]

I'd say probably managable mate, i did start mine young though.

 

My bull cross at 6mnths

[farmerkev09 105]

hi watchman

 

if the bitch has killed a ferret before i would say it is very unlikely to ever get her broken to ferrets but if not i would give her every opportunity to be around ferrets

 

good luck buddy

 

hope she comes through

My bitch is quarter bull, and she's fine with my ferrets, two years old is still young enough to teach yours

[watchman 256]

cheers for the comments lads,im still trying her with them and will continue to do so,heres hoping

[Wild_and_Irish 11]

I'll be attempting something similar come July.....no idea how it's going to work, he was easily enough broken to sheep and cattle, never showed any interest at all, but I think the game changes when it's something small and furry.... good luck anyway
