Not to state the obvious but bear in mind that your dog is going to have many a fruitful seasons ahead only you can decide if the dog is ready mentally and physically . We have all been in the same position when you just want the dog to get its first couple of bunnys under it's belt . But what takes months of training and excercise could be ruined in a couple of runs I am sure you will decide whats best
Good luck
