my pups are daytime mooching from about 12 weeks then about 5 month a couple of dropped rabbits and at 6 month the odd run on the lamp about 9 month i have them killing rabbits strong till about 11 month then doubled up on hare in a small place at 12 month give them a run single handed on the light on a hare in the right place once they kill the odd hare in the lamp back on bunnys till they hardley miss one then a nice break about 3 weeks to a month off just mooching then back at it. not everyones way of doing things
