i know your buzzin but remember its only a pup more dogs are ruined between 6 & 10 months of age than any other you've got time on your side she could be working for the next ten years why risk her opening up or becoming blown which with her breeding is a distinct possibility 7months is no age all the best with her.PRITCH

don't want to rain on your parades lads, but haven't you read anything about not starting pups too young? God knows there's been enough posts on here about dogs that can't/won't pick up, pups injured or yapping.

What your'e doing by lamping a pup of 7 months old is like asking a 10 year old lad to run along side Linford Christie: and catch him up!!!

 

Think about it: your pups still have leg to grow: I'll bet they still have knobbly wrists on their front legs: those bits of bumpy bones are what has to grow out for the pup to reach its full height: if they run too hard before they're all growed out it is very easy to damage them.

 

The other problem is that mentally they are not grown up either: keep running them on fast running rabbits and it will either put them off when they can't catch them, ruin their confidence or make them start yapping.

 

Why not wait a couple more months until there is young rabbits running about that don't know the game. I know its not easy being patient especially if its your first lurcher, but please listen to those who have learned the hard way.

 

I really don't want to see your pups advertised on here in a few months cos they're f*cked up or blown.

only a matter of time until she bringing them back

 

as to what age you start a pup! nobody can give a definate date or time to when there youngster is ready to be unleashed down the beam.not all dogs the same,heres the only MUST" the dog is physicaly and mentaly mature enough,its that simple .
