first sniff

[dawnraider 2]

managed to scruff a rabbit out of a woodpile yesterday,so i took it out into the open with my pup and gave him a go,after a chase of 50-60 yds or so the rabbit found cover and pup came back with a mouthfull of flick,not bad for 4 months old what do you think.a wise move or not as ive always started my dogs at about 8 months.

not really the most sporting thing to do! if it was my pup, id rather start it when it has a real chance and is more developed.

 

id edit the post aswell or i can see it getting pulled!

You asked for opinions so here's mine.

 

I think your pup is far too young to be chasing rabbits,even dropped ones.[it's known as baiting so is illegal I know it goes on but best not to say your doing it on an open forum].

 

Spend the spring and summer months bonding with and obedience training the pup and you'll reap the rewards in the autumn when she's 9 -10 month.

 

If you start him too young and over tax him you'll do more harm than good. He's a pup

let him do puppyish things.
