chartpolski 20,371 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Get the pup out everywhere and as much time with you as possible ! Still a bit young in my opinion for this season, but don't forget, you've got it for the next ten year or more, so no hurry !! If you don't know the game, then learn along with the dog, it's not rocket science !! Let the dog see the game and slip it !! Easy as !! Get the absolute basics right, and you can't go wrong.. Recall is the most important to me, then retreive...anything else is a bonus with a lurcher ! The most important thing is for you and the dog to have FUN !!! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post

watchman 256 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 as above will also add from what i seen they like fecking excorcet missiles so recall needs to be bang on,saw one running years ago that had not been out for a while,lets just say it was letting off a bit of steam after its first miss,was to be its last ever run, them wire fences dont take no prisoners Quote Link to post

Cheers got 3/4 whip 1/4 grey 20 inch,,,,,had a slightly bigger one 23inch in 2006 and few more in past these are the types i highley recommed ,,never ever see much for sale either not everyoes cup off tea,,or dont come up for sale tha often due to them tooken before hand,,i dont know??? ones ive had never been a dud,,,,,,,,after 6month i take mine out and build up there miles SLOWLY ( excerise),,,as if you take pups out for major walks earlyier, they can suffer from inflamed toe joints later in life,,i,e --- too much repetatide training at young age,,,,give them time as pup,,,even a collie, breeds can suffer this,,,too young tooo soon too much ( good luck),,ull know , it,s a cross ill always recommend for bunnys & the odd chance off bigger Edited October 12, 2011 by whip x grey Quote Link to post
Tizzi 1 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Thanks everyone for there advice, I'd only be using her for daytime ferret work. I have good lamper so plan to keep her oping for night work and this bitch for daytime work, i thought a year old would be a good time to enter her so glad most of you feel the same! I'll let you know how she gets on Quote Link to post
bryson 562 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 did you buy the pup off of someone on here because i have the same cross and same age Quote Link to post
DogMagic 461 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Let it join you for the odd ferreting trip this season. Net up = easy rabbits = confidence. Dont do any serious work till next season, the pup will be mature enough by then both physically and mentaly. Quote Link to post
