1St Season Mistakes ?

Surley some pups would be different to others tho lads some pups would just ignore all that and get the job done but some would be a bit more in their shell?

Why would you take the chance

[Dabhand 887]

If pups are around hounds men and other situations at a young age I cant see it being much of a problem

[neil cooney 10,415]

No pup ,no matter how good a prospect, will get on with the job like a reliable worker. So when you have whips keeping back a pack of hounds and maybe a field of horses standing then trying to further a pups education is a big NO. You've a job to do.

You could try it alright but if it turned into a delayed affair you might be asked not to bring a terrier again.

You'd also be making yourself look amateurish too.

As was said already, why take the chance ?

depends on your huntsman.

Mine knows when I have pups to start things are going to take a little longer.

But I think it helps that he used to be a terrierman so he knows the score.

If you've got a working relationship with the huntsman and things are going well in the field it's easy enough to be left to get on with the job at your own discretion. Or you could just move to Wales where the rule "if it gets in it gets killed" prevails.

Wales is a big place dilly dog obviously u haven't been in the hills

Jesus, i seen a right, c,, nt. On, a little dig, English though, and Welsh comrades. Glad i saw none of that shit in good hunting lands. He was probably a one off twat though. Scum

[pablo esc 1,598]

And the same twat was also in correspondence with the liason wildlife c,, nt. . He. Was a no no hunting and proper terrier man, oh well just to say the c**t the have. Take no notice.

[pablo esc 1,598]

Exactly Neil. Not all huntsmen realise how difficult the job a terrier has underground to get the job done and think its a case of terrier in fox out.hounds tend to get preference over terrier work. As Said before no need to put ur reputation on the line with a young inexperienced terrier no matter how much promise its showing.

Its as much about the terrier man as the dog, no one wants to look a coont, no matter what relationship you have with the huntsman

Cherish him, LOL.

[Dabhand 887]

Same as cargol give and take both ways if it takes a little longer for a pup he respects that and enjoys seeing a pup get the job done

just as much as I enjoy seeing young hounds enter.ive seen some huntsman talk to their terrier lads like dirt I dont think I could put up with that just to work the dogs.
