Title: How old for teeth to be good to start a CD Post by: BobbyB on June 28, 2011, 06:06:18 pm Scott, tell me what you think, you have been my mentor with Sackett. I just thought Id start a conversation or maybe an enjoyable argument here. ;D
Question is, how old does a Bulldog need to be for his teeth to have a good set before you start him in the woods? He's an AB if that would make a difference.

Be carefully start them on a shoat not a rank boar they can lose teeth a catch dog without teeth is useless unless her name is snow my AB great grandma she caught at ten without a tooth left.

They've usually caught a time or two before I do. About the teeth...I can't say for sure, but I like to let pups be pups until it's time to go to work.

Well I have heard 1 year minimum and I have heard 15-16 months. He'll be a year in August.

And I dont want to jeopardize him needlessly by me being foolish. I am thinking when it starts to cool off, hopefully October. He'd be 14 months. But I am thinking I will start hauling him more just to get him used to it.

After that they get carried to the woods and left in the box or I let them run around and get use to bein in the woods. All my dogs rig so I start them on top of the box early. |
