How old to start

[percho50 46]

well just wonder how old do you start coursing breed dogs,do you hunt them most days give them the odd run,double them up,I have a 14 month old lurcher coming on well,would bring him out most days and get him used to fences and that,he is a daytime dog only,and is. Showing good signs but don't want to over run him,give him one or two slips at most what you'd think

Is it to much to work a dog 4 days in a week giving him 2 to 3 slips along with another dog or maybe single, what you'd think be in small enough fields just trying to teach him,on wire fences gates etc,is more better or less for a dog aged 14 months anyone

perfect age mate... double him up a few times and when you think hes ready give him 1 on his own. if he does we'll then go from there. if not jus give him more time. by the way mate what cross/breed is he?

yeah well he is doing well now with other dogs and himself,I just don't want to run him to much not catching yet but giving a good go,I would not be working sun to Thursday so try to nearly get out as much as I can them few days,he is bred out of Irish lady lines

2/3 slips a week wont hurt, less on bigger land. steady like.
