    Well done mate. The man sounds like he will teach you the right way, start from the bottom up. Too many lads jump in at 18/19 and miss out the basics, sometimes the difference between a good keeper and a mediocre one. I hope you enjoy it pal, and if its what you really want to do give us an update and i am sure someone will give you a proper start when your old enough. FTB

    give it a rest mate ,its some thing you know sod all about ,and never will .and the dog was catching our chosen quarry at 8 months single handed ,that is what this thread started about ,young dogs starting ,o and it came out every night from the day it could walk with us , Just what i thought, you are a total bullshitter. After 8 months work, the dogs a hero. Brilliant. I think its great you can judge my knowledge of working dogs through a PC, its a real skill and a credit to you. Hopefully the decent folks will read this and make up their own judgement! All the best FTB

    "rabbits no disrespect to those that enjoy that part of this sport ,but i have served my apprentiship on them 30 odd years ago ,FISH in BARRELS that is all they are " The original topic was on whippets and rabbits... I do not ever remember the topic of discussion changing. If you want to talk anything different, then please do. So fill us in, what HAS this world beating dog done before i can safely say you have avoided the subject and maybe it isnt the wonderdog you made it out to be. FTB

    2GOOD you still havent answered my questions i asked earlier. Just incase you missed them here they are again:- For how many months has this pup been running consistently? What success rate are we talking and how much game has it accounted for? P.S immaginary rabbits and mixy rabbits dont count FTB

    Alright then smart arse, how many months has this 'pup' been running for and how much game has he accounted for to achieve this 'world beater status'. No serious dog man i know would contemplate giving a dog a title like that at such a yoiung age In fact, no good dogman i know would blow his trumpet like that. Or can we expect to see this dog in the stud section in a couple of weeks. Believe me mate, its me that should be laughing. FTB

    i can vouch that flint08 has a world beater at the moment and it is only 16 months old ,and all the dogs he has owned have been dogs that you or any one would give their right arm for ,and there are a lot of people on here that will say the same ,so some thing he is doing is working . How can you make a statement like that about a dog after its first season. I just dont get it. It couldnt possibly have seen nearly enough game to even be considered as such. I aint wanting an argument so i'll probably leave it at that FTB

    Get an astra or a transit connect. Although my mate has a combo and he has never had any bother with it. FTB

    they are not mentally mature ,thats the reason you can take them out from such a young age, they are playing they do not run hard they just injoy them selves. Pups should be introduced to different scenarios etc from a young age, as i said in my first or second post they have to use their senses and be socialised. There is a big difference between that and running game. I get what your saying FTB

    We will just have to agree to disagree then 'huntingalltheway'. I personally have seen far more dogs fecked by impatient owners starting them too early than those who held off. How can you possibly assess a dogs ability when as a rule of thumb you have them working from 5 months old? Part of the art of bringing on a dog (imo) is being able to assess and read your dog - meaning you should know when its ready. If you treat every dog as an individual with individual natures and abilities, there is no general rule that can be applied to entering a young dog. To say that they should be doin

    Structure of a pup, although it plays a big part, isnt the be all and end all imo. Some dogs arent mentally mature untill a later stage, which also must be given alot of consideration. Running a young dog that is not yet mature mentally can be just as damaging as running a dog that is not fully developed physicaly. I will never understand people who rush to get a pup working, you will have it for the rest of its working life (or you should), so a precautionary principle should be used. ie wait untill you think the pup is ready to be introduced and dont rush it. As per, this is jus

    Thank god there is someone with some sense about them. Fools talking about running a 4 month old pup thats just recently aff the tit No wonder theres hoards of dogs going through the for sale section:- "9 month old pup" or my personal fovourite "swop pup for Bullx" FTB

    "YOU FXXKIN MAD a whippet can easily catch a rabbit at 5 months" That says it all, what is it you are trying to prove by running a puppy on rabbits. Up untill 10-12 months old all a running dog should be doing is training, socialising, getting used to its senses and growing up fit and healthy. But i am sure you know all this, and judging by your attitude in your response you will give me a brief, poorly spelled lecture on how much of a wanker i am Cheers FTB

    Cracking wee dogs. Leave untill at least a year old before it even sees a rabbit. Let him be a pup and use his nose/senses in an area where he wont encounter game untill 12 months. Give him a few easy ones and the rest should fall into place if your training is up to scratch. No point in letting a dog see game when it has no realistic chance of ever catching it. FTB

    Aye and see if he has any decent dogs for sale At the end of the day, there are dogs going up on here for sale every day, how do you know that isnt someone elses pride and joy...answer is you dont. As a rule of thumb i will never buy a an older dog unless its off the closest friends and i know all its history. People dont SELL good dogs. FTB
