He's pulled two, this was his second fox on top he killed the first without much effort, this one bit him on the back leg, once he'd been biten he didnt want to know and just danced around when he stopped it. this dog is a lump and has done a lot of other terrier work. But he hasnt seemed to get the nack on old red. Just wondered if any one has had this problem before and if it ever got any better. My first thoughts have been lead treatment. But he has been handy for other jobs so far. Would just seem a shame.

Have thought of that, but he is my only big lurcher, the small bitch just gets a pasting and injures easily. I have got a mate who has offered to help out with his dog. would this improve my dog?? suppose it would boost confidence?

Two is far to early to be giving up on your dog especially after a fright....as some of the lads have suggested double him up for awhile till his confidence is back up

Cheers for your advice guys, i've had terriers since i was a kid but never had lurchers for anything bigger than hare. So pretty new to the lurcher world, thanks again.

Jesus thats the last thing id due is get him used to doubling up .... they get a real bad habbit of that and ar always expecting the other to run in on a single..... let him off for a while then bring him back to it and see if he does it but usually once they jib they will keep on jibing.... If he dont come right for you should give it lead... As it should be single handed or not at all...

tm i think your bang on there pal thats what happened to mine,he was always doubled up ,but when i only had the colliex he had no choice but to do it on his own

[Guest hpool_hunter]

i wouldnt keep doubling up , but i would double up untill he grabs another , you dont just get a dogthat hasnt took them before and expect them to take red single , its all about confidence building , once it has the confidence it will be bang on , if not , then maybe it wont make a single handed dog . but IMO id double it on next one , then try single again , but thats me , and everyone is different .

none of my buisness really but i think people on here have the patience of a 1 year old, gonna shoot the dog because he aint taking a fox when hes only been tried once or twice, and i bet youse were all sex gods your first time, i know a lad who has a dog that is great on everything but was "jibbing" as you call it, you might have "gave him led" well the dog slaughters foxes, i know a wheaten cross that was highly strung etc now its a f****n belter, i know a bitsa lurcher at 2 who would clear a field, whos now a belter, a whippet that was a bag of bones and nerves when someone got it at 7 months old is taking fox (yes a whippet) if you raise a dog until hes 2 years old i would keep trying you could keep rearing dogs until their 2 years old and it might take X amount of dogs to get what you want, keep the dog and put the time in it will come along if not then least youve tried as they say patience is a virtu.

well i have to admit im my case i kept the dog for 2 year so if he wasnt goin to do it after 2 year i reckoned he wouldn do it all
