this debate, has been done from the time of using the Lurcher in the field, and you will always have two divisions, for and against, its your dog, do as you wish,

my opinion, Educate your dog to the country side, school your dog for when you will really ask the question off it, Recall, retrieving a dummy to hand, stay,

and stand,, and of course stock breaking, take it through sheep, regular, and getting it to jump,, and by the time you have done all that to a decent standard, there will be some soft bunnys running around, always nice for a sapling to get his mouth on a couple of soft rabbits, by the time he is around 14 months his muscles, will be well toned, and should be ready for action,,,, IF you keep taking a youngster to the edge of there abilitys, running wise that is,

you can sicken them very easily and there is NO RETURN FROM THAT ONE, only my opinion,

i have 2 ferrets mate going to get him out ferreting when the season starts and he retrieving well also stock broken as sheep horses cows etc. don't bother him also iv been getting him to jump which is going pretty well as a few weeks ago he would barely jump up a curb now he is jumping 4 foot fences which is an improvement. i am going to keep on training him till the season starts and then get out with the ferrets and let him have a taste of the rabbits to keep him keen as he is extremely keen now and want him to stay this way Thanks for all the response

fine running rabbits at that age wouldnt run the long ears too early for that!! do you believe your dog could kill a hare right now (daytime)????

he stands at around 22 tts and dont think he could catch a hare as he is not fast enough but if he got a good rabbit in the middle of a big enough field he would definatley have a good chance

 

if you don't think he can catch it then defo don't run it!! plus very hot and wrong time for hares!! stick to the bunnys first
