Guest anonymous Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Give him some set up,s. How long have you had him? I reckon the dogs biggest problem right now is your lack of patience Give him time it will click. Quote Link to post

Guest anonymous Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 19 months old , i think it's time to rethink . Why? He might have been a mere pet for 15 of those months. I reckon the advice to double him up with another dog is a good idea unless he is a timid creature. Nothing like a bit of jealousy to get the juices flowing. You could also use a rabbit skin and get him to rag it about etc, when playing with him. Let him no he needs a bit of aggression if he wants it. Quote Link to post
Batson1993 0 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 i had him 5 months now and i know i need to be patient but its hard to be patient lamping for over 2 hours every other night and coming back empty handed Quote Link to post
Guest anonymous Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Have you gave him set ups? Quote Link to post
lurcher123 3 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 About 2 weeks ago i posted a topic about how my dog wont take squatters but now i have realised he looks awkward when trying to strike for the rabbits that are moving too doesnt bite them i dont know what do? i tryed teasing him with a rabbit and he is just not intersted in them when they dead If you can do some day time runs with him (ferreting) it might be easier for him to click and build confidence, but at that age not noing his true history he may of been run to hard to early and lost interest, like a hare dog which jacks, once a jack-er all ways a jack-er good luck, don't give in to easy and if you do end up looking for another dog see it on the job before paying as there is a lot of dogs been passed on for one thing or another !!!

bird 9,622 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 How old is the dog? what you done with it so far??? Some dogs never take to squatters mate, mine'll do them when he wants to, other times he'll just stand waiting for it to move, but some will never do it!!!! Spot on, i was out last night, got 7 from 13 runs, 4 were squatters, but he only takes them when they move he his a ix collie grey, and alot of colliexs are like that. Still its 7 in the bag.

Is this his only bad quality? If it is you've won a coconut in my book. Quote Link to post
