patterdalejoel 669 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 at what age would you recomend taking a dog ferreting? i dont want to introduce bad habits or anything, so would you recomen taking it to watch but keeping it tied on the lead? i put this on the lurcher section but didnt get much of a reply, so anyone get any good advice?

diggermad 154 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 soon as its had its jabs mate 13 to 14 weeks old wont do it any harm just let it wonder about the holes why your netting up let it get familiarised with everything to do with ferreting better off on its own at 1st for a couple of outings then introduce it with other dogs itll soon pick it up what it has to do ATB DM Quote Link to post

shamus 36 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 i took all of mine as soon as they were able, let them see whats going on, get used to ferrets Quote Link to post
stroller 341 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 about 8 months old as soon as they start to mature a bit and i would have all of the usual obedience in place first. i put threads on here and the lurcher bit when my bitch maggie first started going out and her experiences have a look at them. All dogs are different you know your dog and will make the right judgements Quote Link to post
