Best age to own a runner

[Casso 1,264]

I was wondering lads whats the best time in your life to own a running dog,

I kept lurchers while at school,,plenty of spare time,willing ,fit,no stress,keen,plenty of get up and go,

The flip side of that was,,no money ,no wheels,lack of experience,

When your a little older,,money ,some knowledge,still fit,more settled,good set of wheels,formed a picture of what hunting and what works for you

Older still ,experience , settled,less ego driven maybe,knowledge,plenty of connections in the game,wiser,more patience and understanding of dog,knows his/her hunting and prey

Flip side of this one is,,less active, less time ,moneys tighter,other commitments ,more stress,,,barb wire looks a lot highing than it did and a lot more threatening,in fact most fences present a problem

Not really a serious topic but any thoughts or experiences most welcome,,
