10 Month Old Lurcher

[pmatty77 26]

Mine is 9 months not even seen a bunny yet gonna bring her on very gently this winter,think its important not to shout at her whatever she does as think this can put them off for life,she scared of gates at the moment lol so will have to conquer that one very gently before she has a run

well i think it comes down with each pup abilty, more than a age thing.? Bryn my 1x collie x grey , had his 1st rabbit at 5 month old, and had 100 rabbits by time he was 12 1/2 month old. Iknew from that 1st rabbit it was easy for him, the way caught it so holding a dog back like him was pointless . my other pup now 1x gsd x grey Buck had dozen rabbits at 9 month old, differnt type in size but still plenty of abilty to pick a rabbit up. As said it comes down to each pup i think, not so much age.!!

I wouldnt slip the dog in on another dog running the beam especially not a green as grass pup seen a very bad collision using that method

Is there any benefit from bringing a pup out jst to watch another dog lamp?Im sure my pup would yap while watching can this easily turn into yapping while running- i obv know theres a big difference. I started my first pup on her own but eager get current one out to watch.

Just my opinion but what's the rush? I'd wait till September now it'll be here in no time! Spend the summer getting his fitness levels up and just let him mature just that little more!
