    i was allways told to restrict running hard until over 12 months and only short exercise runs over 10 months not hunting at all . if the dogs bred right the hunting is instinctive! all the training as mentioned is far more important than a premature kill , let then carcase rag etc etc until then . its more to do with lung damage (tears to many blood vesils that scar) called broken wind . and muscle and joint damadge . all those things can and will happen to a young dog . im probably well out of date now tho as iv not run a lurcher in a few years , but i was taught by belvoir fox hounds whip

    non of them a resinated tho , and just to show you i dont want to do any more really , there are easy enough for home projects !! you could allways spray it with hammerite but mask the blade then use products like "plasti dip " as a non slip handle idea . sheaths are as easy or complicated ase you want them .
