    its good to start dogs young cos they learn by there misstakes like when we were kids we learnt by our misstakes and my dog as a pup and now i can still call him off if i want to that all comes from working him young and being off the lead day work has helped realy well when you have six dogs out they have to do as they are told like i said my wife takes all 6 dogs out twice a day and they all do as they are told 3 of those are jrts and we know wat they can be like at times

    Spot on mate. I think Buttermilk got confused - no one was comparing their and her way of doing it and saying one was better, worse, or shit (other than her), they were merely highlighting the potential problems or dangers, which was what was asked for as advise, to which she then got defensive and proceded to discount it all based upon her personal experiance Don't be so utterly patronising Ideation....just because you can string a decent sentence together and use grammar properly, it doesn't make you the oracle. I didn't get confused or defensive....and I never said anyone's

    That's such an informative post Hannah....and it sounds very much like your dogs are brought up similarly to mine. Thanks for responding... Its a topic that i find really interesting, i was knocked by lurcher guys a lot when the pup was young, all telling me by allowing him to hunt up i'd get him into bad habits, but as you stated earlier there is a massive difference between a dog that has been brought up roaming and a dog that has been kenneled and taken for walks, in their attitude to game.

    What i meant was - how do you know that it does no harm etc to bone growth? It's a survival of the fittest type thing and any young animals DO injure themselves when young and not survive - hence the high mortality rate of wild animals within the first year of life. A lurcher is not like this - we tend to like to ensure that the one we own makes it all of the way and are not so keen to subject it to survival of the fittest situations. It's not about not doing anything with them when young - they should be out, just not put in situations where they are unlikely to come across things that t

    all of our dogs have been bought up in the country side as we live rural the only one is our greyhound wich we had from the rescue my wife takes all 6 dogs out and she can get them all to stay behind her till she tells them to go and its done them all good starting them young
