Tallyho 181 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 can i just ask why they aint been out , are they stock broke ?? the only way to start them is take them out on the lamp and let them run one , then you take it from there, but you might find if they miss they may not come back for a while they will be still trying to find the rabbit they missed, with mine if they dont catch; as soon as the lamp is off they know to come back ready for the next run. not all bullx's are ignorant .

aaron01 737 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 there not to old yet they maybe should have been stock broken before now so it will take you to watch where you run them incase they bump into livestock while they are off the lead all the best with them anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ulverston moocher 60 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I have known lads get dogs older that havent been out and have made good workers obviously every dog is different but they should be fine mate people get rescues and work them older than one year old get them out bud and give them a run just make sure there steady with stock.

I have known dogs to still work at 12 yrs old! Thats [bANNED TEXT] there bred for! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jt750 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 IMO i think its the ideal time to start them off working. I'm not one of these people who run a dog early and believe if you do you ruin a dog. Start by walking around stock and watch for any adverse reaction and check it immediately so they know its not for them. Every dog is different and some aren't ready for work until they are 2 years old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
