I no a lot off people will think they are to young but I have never pushed my pup it has been out with me watching what is going on since he was 12 weeks he is very calm around ferrets and very easy to train even with a very high prey drive and he loves a night on the lamp and has the best nose I have seen on a pup hope he done you proud davy if it was me that breed him I would be over the moon ,I am just the lucky owner now happy days
