Chid 6,379 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 got a dog here that wont be tried till he its 16/18 month old ... thats my preferance ... any younger than 12 months is idiotic in my eyes ... dog aint fully developed and mature enough seen a dog jack by the owner starting it to early ...

fat man 4,740 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 A terrier will know itself when its ready to go,you cant make a terrier go to ground if it does not want to. Quote Link to post
pernod 466 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi, Its all very well saying a terrier will know when its ready to go to ground. But i think in some circumstances you sometimes have to think for the pup and hold it back when necessary. A well bred pup will want to go before it is up to the job. Just my observations. Cheers Pernod Quote Link to post
fat man 4,740 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Idid'nt mean bring it out as a pup,i meant when its strong and old enough take it out and if they want to go let them. Quote Link to post

The Liquidator 4 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 You cant put an exact age they all mature at different rates some will go sooner than others but I would rather wait a little than enter too early Quote Link to post
