Did you own a dog calledFlint Shaun? A popular way to introduce a pup is to slip it in on course when a made dog is allready running big ears,I have allways started mine,pre ban by slipping them doubled up,I think a lot of it depends on the individual dog and its breeding,many coursing men I know give a youngster selected runs from a quite early age,of course the danger is that the short slip to cover turns out to be a stinger ,with the hare ignoring the easy escape ,and straight lining the dog.If you had Flint ,I dont think you need any advice on this.Regards Inan.
