For Turk n Ben

[spartacus 22]

hello boys, hope your keeping well Verry happy with the bitch pup i had from you ben, think shes 13 weeks now and after being a total pain in the ass up until about 2 week ago when she killed a couple of mice and has seemed to grow up all of a sudden, she killed a rabbit with mixi last nite like she thought she was an old pro. :11: Couldnt feckin get near her after though so i left her on the farm and went in for a beer or two n when i came out she was sat by the truck, i was feckin thought i was gona have to go and find her at least. Anyway just wanted to know if you think she's still a bit young or just to let her keep dooing [bANNED TEXT] comes naturally? thanks again

IMO [bANNED TEXT] she is WAY too young :whistle: ... at the end of the day shes a lurcher so the instinct will be there but her first year of life should be spent teaching her the basics ... retrieving, jumping, sit , down, stay and recall etc ... People start their pooches at diffrent ages some as young as 6/7/8 months and thats their preferance. I just thing that if shes catching quarry this young and playing about with it she might develop a habbit of ''playing'' with her catch, and this habbit cant be a pain in the arse to kick out of her, and there nothing more frustrating than ur dog chasing, catching and then playing with her catch.

 

 

Just my oppinion

I know [bANNED TEXT] you mean mate, it wasnt a planned thing she just killed it out walking. I dont really want to stop her though incase it puts her off for [bANNED TEXT] she is old enough and i dont wana keep her on a lead until shes 6 month old.[bANNED TEXT] would you do

Exercise her where there's no game.

LOL,Spartacus you just keep at it [bANNED TEXT] give that pup as much experiance as it can manage,its a pup and you shouldnt push it to hard but experiances like the myxy rabbit wont do a pup with a bit of spirit any harm,lurcher pups that are kept on leads and not allowed to explore new sites and sounds IMHO are the ones more likely to fail,take care but let the dog develop into what it is ,hopefully a killer.Basic training is essential but to much is IMHO as lethal as pushing the youngster to hard everything in moderation.
