zx12edge 1,001 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 When i was at Ragley Hall a guy took a few photos of him bag chasing ,so i thought i would put them up for any of you guys that may be interested in how he is coming on.He is 27" and i don't reckon he will go much more.He has got a good prey drive cracking nose on him good turn of speed for a lump.He ain't scared of much and is a very quite type of dog. I have been socialising the f**k out of him as i can see he ain't going to suffer fools lightly and it seems to be paying off. He has had a few easy rabbits and a few rats and a woody he caught in the yard and seems to be soft mouthed . All in all he is coming on pretty well nice mutt to have around so far.Looking forward to when he has matured to see what i have got on my hands. Hope he makes the grade as i must admit i like this dog 13 Quote Link to post

Casso 1,256 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 You can see a lot of commitment in him I like that he looks a confident sort the type that won't be found wanting , nice animal Quote Link to post

Casso 1,256 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 A dog like him needs a focus don't worry about the socialisation now He will only build up a charge for other dogs Once he knows his job you'll have no worries, that sort of conifidence carries into all aspects of his environment , your part of the bargin is to build trust in the relationship , with trust the dog feels in control and is more likely to keep himself social because it feels better Quote Link to post

We got a good bond going on and i think i hold his trust there is not much he wont willingly let me do to him. He is with me most days and is out daily mooching about. i get along with dogs better than i do with people to tell the truth i am a quite type of man which seems to suite the pup and he responds well to a soft voice.Just don't want him to realise what he is capable of and act on it.At the end of the day i want a social dog not something i can not trust. Appreciate the advise fella Quote Link to post

Really do like him When i went to have a look at the pups i was looking for a bitch but he took my eye. Did not think he was going to make it through the first night but he has turned into a strong healthy dog.Hope he turns out similar to Sam did and lives a little longer. I could do with a bit of luck lol 1 Quote Link to post
