buster gonads 862 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Watch them when they are older, once they are on a scent they can be head strong buggers, best nose on any terrier i,v seen, a good Plummer is unbeatable above ground and some arent bad under it too, they take to ratting like a duck to water, you,v some good times ahead Tozer. 1 Quote Link to post
Tozer 385 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Their noses are exceptional for their ages I have to say, I'll stop the posts for now until I get some working pic's in a few months time. I am putting a lot of training into her, but she is going very deaf on scent/sight so I am hoping to break this. On her own she is perfect. 1 Quote Link to post
wirral countryman 2,110 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Tozer, any training has to be done with 1 pup alone, plummers and their crosses are very intelligent and capable of any level you wish but you're wasting your time trying to train 2 together, always a bad idea to have 2 pups at the same time, good luck, WM 3 Quote Link to post

But it funny how quick they forget. Did some stock breaking today came across some cade lambs: All good Didn't think so much of some equally friendly bullock calfs 7 Quote Link to post
wirral countryman 2,110 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Nice pics, they're great with those lambs until they run away, LOL's, that's the test when off the leash, good luck and nice pup, WM 1 Quote Link to post
Tozer 385 Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) I had to snap a lead on quick, she was looking to go. A few protective ewe's gave her cause for concern. Was impressed, she entered cover of her own accord following the scent of a rabbit that went in. Gave some encouragement and left her to explore for as long as she wanted. That picture with the bullocks will make me smile for a long time yet. Edited May 4, 2014 by Tozer Quote Link to post
stabba 10,745 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Nice to see a thread starting from scratch to hopefully the finished article. Looks a lovely little thing mate. 4 Quote Link to post
CumbrianGinger 1 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 A nice looking pair of pups you've got there Tozer! Especially like the look of the brown one, sounds like a great little pup. Good luck with her! 1 Quote Link to post
Tozer 385 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Nice to see a thread starting from scratch to hopefully the finished article. Looks a lovely little thing mate. Cheers Stabba, I missed this somehow, I am learning a lot about dogs, reading etc. Both dogs are very trainable, the smaller patchy bitch seems to have more drive, completely different and likely they will work well together. She is on a raw food diet about a rabbit a day. Out of interest does anyone feed their dogs pigeon? She relishes them. Quote Link to post
Tozer 385 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Also, I do now see the difference between purpose dogs, some of the beagle/spaniel/terriers are ace, and a handy dog (something I am aiming for), she is a pot licker that will do work as and when I want! 1 Quote Link to post
Tozer 385 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Just thought I'd post an update. My misses slowed me down saying I am expectin too much from a 6 month old pup. But she caught her first rabbit, no great story of over-achievement for her age. Just a hamster sized one that squatted rather than ran. Retrieving is good to fair. Though I guess it isn't my main aim with her. Just had mooch with her on some land riddled with rabbits that aren't hunted and she made me smile diving through nettles and grass after them. She hasn't got the blind drive of my mates patts. But I think I can make something of her. Just over 14" and 6.5kg at nearly 7 months. 2 Quote Link to post
