First year feeding it as much as it wants, obedience and getting everything in place then after 12 months start introducing it to work going off the maturity of the dog

just wondering what people expect from there dogs first winter what do you like to see and what puts you off ? Do a lot of lads let there dogs do a few bits or generally just keep them catching easy bunnies ? I know all dogs are different but in an ideal world what signs what you like to see from a young dog before it's a year old ?

Its re-call,retrieve,attitude with stock,ability to jump,use its nose and nous and the traits of character its showing,id also expect it to be fairly proficient on bunny as bunny should be the easiest of runs even a sapling needs the ability to deal with.
