huntingalltheway 2 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 This little tyke is just around 5 weeks old he's going coursing next week....caught his first hare yesterday honest I've got winesses you dont half gets some funny lads dont ya hahah. Just remember i mentioned the running a dog called grit and another bloke has commented that he knows him self that thee dog has done what i said it had bit funny that aint it mate. This disscussion has turned rediculous you dont get us guys calling you twats for mentioning taking dogs out older even tho its against what we do. Each to our own. But before you guys comment thought you should know i used to start my dogs out between 7-12 months but then i saw many blokes with dogs started young and saw the results they got. And they dont encounter as many training problems. and since i've changed my ways my dogs have been the best i could ask of them. So if you aint tried both ways please dont comment.

undisputed 1,664 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Would a wilddog not get to see its prey before it was a year old atb dell Wild dogs, foxes etc all depend on their parents for food until theyre old enough to fend for themselves, this is a different matter there's a world of difference scavenging for food and coursing I smell shite Quote Link to post
