Back in the day when coursing was OK...........

i personally would stick to day time, however others choose to lamp to bring theirs on............and of course if you had intended to use them for night time or day < for me it was always day >

either way its what *suited* You back then............, the pups were out walking the fields at 6/8 months onwards depending on their development and knowing when the * TIME* was right is down to the individual

Good Luck and alb

Flynny!

ALRIGHT FLYNN,JUST WAS THINKING OF GETTING HIS STRIKE INTO ACTION EARLY ON,IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME COMING MONTHS,TO START HIM,WINTER MONTHS,THEY ARE GETTING FITTER

me personally i would get it some easy rabbits... ferreted .ect let it learn its job daytime first... jumping going into cover ect ...theres plenty of time.heavy saturated saluki x.s tend to be slow to come on ..i.e imature ...not all but with alot this seems to be the case ....with a young dog you cant beat giving it plenty of confidence ...to many young dogs are ruined early ....and at ten months i would suspect hes got quite a bit of filling out to do.and maybe a bit of growing to....good luck with him ..

a couple of pictures would be good ....some people will disagree with what iam saying and maybe some wont ....just my thoughts .....

 

 

all the best jethro....

Yes quite right the confidence element can go along way......... and if you go ferrting i would stick to one dog only.............

as for the strike, that always going to be down to the dog, you cannot put it there! Jeez aint that the truth
