terryd 8,028 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 As above if its in them you have to worry about holding them back rather than the other way round. My jr started hunting as a pup on rabbits, rats then one day when he ready dropped in on a fox and was away. All ways had him on a lead when out digging as he was just as happy putting rabbits to ground for the ferret. Never went to ground on a rabbit though he new thats what ferrets were for Quote Link to post
lucky 578 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 It will start itself off, but it's upto you to keep the odds in its favour until its experience grows. Quote Link to post

smithy21 0 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 He's about 14 months now. And. He's bin going to earth by his. Self about a week. Ago he didn't Evan look at a earth or take notice. But I took him out the other day. And. He. Run up to the earth went straight in. Come out a different hole That day he checked 3 earths Now he's going in. Earths now like nothing . Should I stop him going in or let him keep doing it . .? Quote Link to post
genuine 81 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 14 months onwards he's ready to start only you can tell when he's ready. If he's entering and running earths sounds like he just needs to find his quarry. Personally I'd be trying small earths, shallow if possible, artificials. If you do have some luck and meet Charlie. Let the dog settle, get to him as soon as physically possible. Dispatch Charlie and he has his reward. But only you will know when he's ready. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to post
