mattyg 1,862 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 i know a dog just like that RFYL, in fact he is lying on his back on the sofa next to me right now.....he is scared of his own farts for godsake! and yes.....he is 22", but still cant abide cats no matter how much he is told otherwise! some dogs will, some dogs wont, but i think there is a better chance if entered properly i.e. later rather than sooner! matt Quote Link to post
Bootsha 1,306 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 No matter how big and well developed a yound dog may look, or actually be, if he's not allowed time to mature mentally then you could be wasting a young dog's future by trying him too early, a dog that, had he been allowed time to mature mentally, would probably have a fuller and longer working carreer on "heavier stuff" than one entered too soon. Obviously there are exceptions to every rule, but a dog thats allowed time to mature mentally before entering, will, in the fullness of time, be coursing charlies or whatever to catch them, not just chasing the fuckers around the paddock not realy wanting it. And we all know that at some point everyone has seen what I was just refferring to, I know I have. Not all dogs will make the grade regardless of method and time invested in them. Just my humble opinion for what its worth. B Quote Link to post

Simoman 110 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 My mistake, i read the thread wrong so apologise, although i still think we have differing ideas of what constitutes gameness in a lurcher and a couple of foxes doubled up aint mine........... Quote Link to post
