Thanks guys. Johhny boy sent me a great message about how to prepare milow for his first time. I got straight down to buisness this afternoon and have been practicing the recall with a teddy xD Ive realised it isnt as easy as id expect but he is starting to pick it up and learn what i want him to do with the teddy. Id say about 30% of the time i spent today was succesfull and the other 70% he just wanted to tear the teddy up lol. I will keep doing it every day though and im sure in a few months he will be on his way to the real thing. Another question i wanted to ask was about time

Hi everyone. I have never been hunting in my life but i am seriously keen to start learning. I was taking my lurcher cross breed through the wooded area in my area and there were rabbits everywhere. He takes an interest in them and tries to get to them but i am scared to let him off the leash in case he runs off. I really think he will be a natural but i am a noob so i could be completely wrong. Im hoping there is someone near me who could be my mentor and show me everything i need to know to get my dog (milow) to be a great hunter. I live in Bradford, west yorkshire and near me is many

Wow thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Ilive in the Bradford area of west yorkshire. I took my dog through the wooded area near my house where we see rabbits all the time. He is always curious about what they are and tries to get to them but i have been scared to let him off the leash xD Im going to post in the section you advised now so i dont clutter the welcome thread. thanks again everyone

Hi all im jamie, I have a dog (milow) who is a cross breed lurcher. He is the most energetic dog i have ever owned or come across so far. He's around 8 months old and i want to try hunting rabbit with him. I have never been hunting before in my life, but it has always interested me. so... Im here to hopefully get some help on where to start. Is milow old enough to start now? How do i train him to actually chase and kill the rabbit, or do i just take him to a field and hope his instincts take over. Im sorry if i sound like a complete noob but i really want to learn. Any feedba
