how he bred mate?

just take your time, get basic dog commands sorted first (recall, heel etc). let dog be a pup, dont rush it into work. dont run it into the ground and dont try it on things it has no chance on getting near as it'll get frustrated and bark or give up too easy, or both.

sounds like decent cross, should have plenty of stamina. both parents working?

 

agree with ribb - sure you have no intention of doing otherwise ryan, always be good to dog, lurcher types are sensitive, dont respond too well to harsh training, reward based better than harsh discipline.

Spot on BenBhoy i found my pup responded to rewarding good behaviour where as when told off he wouldnt come near me, so i just ignorned the bad behaviour . Dont build up trust then throw it away mate, working for me, good luck

deepy doo is spot on [bANNED TEXT] id say start with the basics with a bit of colly in there you should have no problem training basics and retrieving, when it comes to work dont give him too much too soon dont start him to early let him be a pup all depends what work you will be giving him but in any case too much will ruin him plenty of rewards plenty of exercise the rest will come naturally as others have said any problems post knowlege on here is good, good luck. nice pup mate
