Its more important that the young lads getting into the sport have good mentors!

 

Couldn’t agree more, Ive found it so hard to gain the knowledge to get into the field.

I think a good handler these days is more important to train a pup than a mentor the rest comes with experience on the pups part with age the only time a mentor had a use was pre ban on teeth 

I’ve started more than a couple of dogs on fox without having another dog around. Give them time to mature and the breeding will do the rest.

A good dog can teach a person a lot starting out I know mine did

Over 40 odd years, my dogs taught me a lot more than I taught them
