Haggis81 147 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 dont rush, rushing is best way to waste a dog, trust me I have done it! just make sure its retreving and recall is sound, it will be good age for graft nest season 2 Quote Link to post

banjo14 49 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 the dog in my avatar didnt have a bunny untill he was 14 months old let him be a pup and carry on with his training. let him grow up in his own time you will end up with a much better dog. Quote Link to post

courseadog 231 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I would wait a bit more But you want a kill this season Trouble is when he's ready there will be no easy rabbits left Quote Link to post
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Whats the rush fellah... He's only 9 months old, Id be thinking easy green rabbits next season no, You wont do him any harm by holding him back just that little bit, But do too much too soon and you could imprint bad habits in him before he's even started...
