"Wolfdog awareness course" General Chat

previous posting by me was meant to be

As already mentioned, the dog in question are not pets as such, most dont live in the house, most dont go into town on a lead, or do other family things.

if you buy a puppy from a farm it doesnt mean that pup will grow to be a farm dog,it will do what the new owners want it to obviously.
read what is being offered on this workshop day.

if these pups are coming from a farm they will have seen livestock and so on though?

not necessarily depends on the farm,and what if they had,not sure of the relevance.

Really :? ok....dogs such as these are known to have high prey drive, many chase sheep and cattle.....so a pup reared with sheep and cattle would be less prone to doing so......

ETA: what type of farm where you refering to when you said.."when pups leave the farm?"

Should be a wolfdog breeders course to advise potential owners of the lack of morals in these breeders.

What dogs does Banji have?

as the pups are usually at new homes by eight weeks, then let training commence cos i doubt whether they would be running aroung cattle and sheep prior to that.
i think the breeder would have more sense unless training them for herding or retriving game.

Think he may be one of the crywolf 'Pack'

pups dont have to be running round cattle to be introduced and socialised round them..:?

but from what I gather your not talking about a working farm, just one that had dogs on it now..

That lady also told me she got her CW pup at 6 weeks

Yes, they post on that forum too.

some breeders will allow pups to go early to experienced homes ...

I think CW pups go at that age to all owners, whether they are experienced or not.

Well she wasnt experienced was she?

Oh dear !:-(

My thoughts as well . . . . Still it costs money to feed a litter for another 2 weeks. Wouldn't want to 'eat' into the profits now would we!
