Uh-Oh What Have I Started?

[walshie 2,804]

I tried tying an old white tee-shirt on a rope on the back of the quad yesterday and driving up and down a field to give the pup a run. He wasn't interested at first, but after a couple of passes he was flat out after it each time.

 

When I stopped he was killing the tee-shirt and it was quite hard to take it off him. When I untied it later, it was obvious I'd towed it through fox shit or piss as it stunk of reynard. Even when I chucked it in the dustbin, he managed to drag it out and rag it all over the garden.

 

Would he do this whatever it smelt of or have I caused problems for later? Don't want him chasing a fox when I'm out for a bunny for dinner do I?

Who told you to do that? Or did you just come up with the idea yourself?

There's plenty of dogs that wont look at a fox but love their shit, especially rolling in it.

Ragging that dummy will definitely make sure your pup will retrieve bunnies, LOL.

There is one reason in the quote above. Get some discipline into him before you start letting him chase. Can you imagine the state of a rabbit after he has stopped ragging it? Won't even be fit for ferret food.

Dout the pup ragging on a shit stained T shirt will cause it to rag rabbits . Plenty of mates and myself have had pups were they have had a mouth like a vice on fox and soft on rabbit. ... I've always tried to get pups to play abit of tug o war at the young age think it brings them out and boost confidence

Well yes, I realise that bit, but I didn't think a bit of exercise at 20 weeks old would be a problem, but thought I'd ask just in case.

Seen a decent dog catch n kill the sharp end and in the next field retrieve a rabbit live, don't think it matters to be honest. My dog here used to shake hell into everything as a pup, but every rabbit he's caught all been alive

Note to everyone with the tut tut rolling eyes answers: I have never owned a lurcher till now, hence the questions.
