Unfourtunately, there is to many kids in the game now, who want a "top dog" at 6 month old !! They get pups, don't have a clue how to feed, train or house them; run them on hares, foxes, etc., at an early age, and when they don't do the "bizz", they are sold as "no fault of their own" !! Of course it is "No Fault Of Their Own" !! It's the fault of the owner !! Loads of well bred dogs spoilt !! To many people breeding "well bred lurchers", and to many "wannabee's" buying them !! Get a dog as a pup, rear it well, enter it when it's ready, and have a good dog for many years !!
Cheers.
