I've got 2 bitches here like chalk and cheese. One wasn't ready for work until about 16 months old and the other is running and catching now at 7 months, and will be catching on the lamp by 8 months. Just go steady mate and don't write it off yet. She will know you are getting frustrated and stressed out too so bare that in mind. Quote Link to post

She will know you are getting frustrated and stressed out too so bare that in mind. true that, both my 2 dogs were catching rabbits at 6 months old, I think Bryn had about 70 odd rabbits at that age , and Buck was catching maybe bit younger , even though he was a lot bigger dog than Bryn at that age, he still had natural agility to pick rabbits up and plenty of speed as well. you can tell at there ages if they ready to pick a rabbit up, or if there all arse/legs lol , as above there all different some show signs early than others but by 10-12 month's old they should have the ability to knock few rabbits over 1 Quote Link to post

By 7-8 months most dogs physically could catch a bunny. It's mentally. My brindle bitch just wasn't switching on and picking things up at that age. His might be the same. Some just need that touch longer. Some would say these dogs are no use. Late starters. Each to their own mate ? Quote Link to post
