ferret_uk 4 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 just ignore him levo mate he is slagging you and your dog off but you do realise he has not posted any pictures of hes hounds and the first post he sent was that one to you just been a ar*se really. Most people belive round about 12 month you start your dog on the lamp but like he said its your dog start it when you thinks its ready. ferretuk Quote Link to post

ferretman22 1 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 collie boy. my bitch broke her growth plate when she was 4 months old jumping. just incase you dont know [bANNED TEXT] a growth bone is it a bone in the back elbow. and shes started like i said 8/9 months when people said shell never run and low and behold at two years old she running rabbits most nights and it not affected her. so [bANNED TEXT] im trying to say is mind your own buiness unless you know the dog as well as its owner and stop slagging people off and telling people what to do with probably got more experience than you BOY.

skycat 6,174 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 It's all about common sense: being out and about having the odd run is good, good, good. Putting a pup on dozens of rabbits on the lamp at night, or letting it chase stuff that doesn't go to ground and runs the legs off the dog is just plain silly. Everything in moderation is the way to go: as long as the dog isn't exhausting itself or becoming disheartened from failing to catch rabbit after rabbit then it's all education and good exercise.
