Taz-n-Lily 62 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Nice looking dog. I think it all depends how much deerhound is in the dog. Mine has a fair old dash of deerhound (see recent pic in avatar) and conseqently is just starting to settle down now at two and a half. This was ridiculed on the other thread, as was my Jackie Drakeford quote, but it's a fact that some deerhound X's take an age to mature. If you can get them to stock early then that's clearly the way to go, and I have no argument with that at all. With a rescue which was six months old before I got him (I had to wait to find an intact dog, most rescues have their nuts off), it's a little harder, but not impossible by any means - it just takes longer.

moocher123 132 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 No disrespect to you taz and Lilly but I think it's down to the owner I know any dog I took on I would break them in no time a tall and like someone said yesterday you can see what the dog is thinking before it does it and I could have any breed and it would be broken as I said down to the owner and even if it was a rescue and older I wouldn't take it anywhere with sheep till it had that bond with me and listen instantly then when I knew I had that connection then I know I would break them within a hour atb 1 Quote Link to post

What about teaching the basic's like sit, stay, retrieve etc, these are all obiedience training like stock breaking So what your saying is that a heavily blooded deerhound dog is not trained the basic's until they're 2 + ?
