deadlyshot 25 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 ok ill take to a used one then and if she decides to go down then gets hurt/killed that will be ok then yes Quote Link to post
Guest busterdog Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Every pup i have in my yard run empty earths most mornings, as long as you don't encourage them or get them over excited then i can't see any problems. Mind the earth mine run are totaly wrote off by the farmer who's pulled all the trees down that stood on them, theres only a few feet of tubes left in any direction so no chance of a fox in them. The older dogs check them as they go along and the pups follow on behind and look out of curiosity, but they soon run on and follow the older dogs off the earth but by then the idea of checking holes is sown in there heads.

hunt 30 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I aggree with busterdog I do the same and find my terriers are a lot easier to enter than just keeping them in a pen till the right age and hoping they will work when tipped in Quote Link to post
bullcross13 58 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 my 9 month lake x patt at an old earth getting the nose for it i think Thats the way i do it let them have a look in old un used earths to get there confidence up .then let them start the real work from about 13mts on depending on the dog. Good on you keep going you will end up with a gooden Quote Link to post
