Get them out with your mates dogs but just let them watch. Iv got a 4 month old and a 5 month old and they come out now but wont be ready till next season. Give them little runs it wont do any harm but just one or two you dont want to get them barking after rabbits.

i have a Lurcher bitch of 6 months old,whippet x deerhound x collie greyhound and i take her out in the field and let her canter along with the terriers for a short while then put her straight back on the lead,Why is it lots of people want to work them too early??i will only start to let my bitch work after 12 months and then by breaking her in slowly,i get angry at people expecting them to work too early and being disapointed when the outcome isn't what they expected.my bitch is still a pup and thats how shw is treated,im nurturing her for a year and i can already see that she is gonna be one hell of a worker,be patient ,

its always good to take them out with experianced dogs but alot depends on the breed but 8 to 9 months is good to start them in my opinion but everone will tell you their own opinion .

whoever told you theyre ready to start is a numpty mate, take them with another dog if you want but a long time yet before id start working them.

i totally agree
