timmy k 571 Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 The age of the pups is of no consequence to me. It's the half grown obviously tame rats that's the problem. 1 Quote Link to post

Rickshaw swami 3,885 Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Most Americans start their terriers in an artificial scenario which I have never agreed with regardless of age.Pet rats,caged coons ,wooden boxes with a possum.As my father used to say "It's like putting lipstick on a pig." Pointless I started a pup yesterday.Roughly 15 months old.He had seen nothing.I took him to a beaver set that I knew would provide an easy quick bolt.The little dog entered.Beaver immediately bolted and the pup came home feeling like king of the world. Most Americans say that I do it wrong.I say most Americans do it wrong. 10 3 Quote Link to post

Agreed but if they feel their pups are ready before their teeth have set that's up to them. Not what I'd do but their not mine. I do wonder if they would allow pups that young to go after wild rats, no finer way to ruin a young pup Quote Link to post
