Tyla 3,179 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 i will but i wouldnt mind another dog in general for him to run with, i got a better picture of him today you no any idea i could upload :/? Fairplay, but maybe get him doing what he needs to do first. Trying to train two dogs at once is a bit of a nightmare, and i bet you will favour one, and one will get left out, or they dogs will just take themselves off and ignore you. Spend the summer getting him fit, learning etc, and try it all out next winter, and if you really do enjoy it etc, THEN start to think about doubling your pack. You shouldnt get a dog you dont KNOW you have the work for, but of course its your call. I'd be very interested to see what your lad can do, i bet he surprises you. Good advice Quote Link to post
punner 36 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Without being harsh, a dog may be with you for a decade or more, and i know when your young everything seems like it needs to happen NOW! But you may not actually like hunting that much, or you may find another interest in six months. Like the man above said, go out any try it all with the dog (and others dogs) to see what floats your boat, at least that way if you decide to get another pup, chances are you will get something suited to what and how you wish to hunt, and may even, through getting out and meeting folk, get put onto a quality litter, rather than grabbing whatevers about cos it co-incides with your 18th. No one is knocking your enthusiasm, but there is no rush, it seems a wee bit foolish to be getting ANOTHER running dog when you only discovered hunting with them yesterday and have never been ferreting, lamping etc in your life. Try putting them on photo bucket, or emailing them to yourself (the photos). To get the dog fit, lots of free running, walking, swimming, great grub, road walking, maybe running next to a push bike. To introduce him, i'd say take him ferreting, just to grab some bunnies in the net etc etc, buuuuuut you have missed that boat mostly for this season. So take 1 lamp, find an area where there is plenty open space, no dangers (obstacles, wire, roads), and hopefully somewhere that isnt lamped heavily, then on a rainy, windy, cloudy night (NO MOON), go out late, with the wind blowing in your face (walk into it), have dog on a slip (piece of cord through collar), and walk up the field, scanning with lamp, until you find that dumb bunny that squats down in the grass out in the middle, keep the lamp on him, putting yourself between the rabbit and its home/cover, and walk up on it until either it breaks or you feel your close enough (and the dog has noticed it and is pulling) and then let go of one end of the cord. Don't do too much too soon, or you can put him off, give him confidence early on with easy runs and easy kills. If he catches it, call him back in, take it off him and praise him, if he misses, call him back in, praise him and put him back on slip. GOOD LUCK! you sound a good man good on you and some good advise ther mate atb 1 Quote Link to post
