Meduck74 2 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hi all I'm new too this had terriers for years worked hard . But never had lurcher got 5 month old collie greyhound that's 21 inch at moment took out ferreting she caught 2 young rabbits and retrieved to hand also she's started setting .. I've took her out 3 times on the lamp only letting her run sitters just wanting to no if I'm doing the right thing or am I rushing her ? Quote Link to post
Hurlock 114 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 No mate that too early for 5 month old let her be a pup for while yet or you'll likely sicken her. Entering the most important part of young lurchers life. Get it wrong and it'll be yapping, pulling up, picking it's runs. No rush mate plenty time for catching rabbits after winter.

Hurlock 114 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Most dogs I've seen yap have been over matched when they were run too young. 5 month id be socialising and obedience training not lamping but like you say we all do it different. Quote Link to post
