happy larry 3 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Most people wait untill the dog is 12 months old and fully formed,however i know folks that have taken a dog running rabbits at 6 months old,foolish as its easy to sour a dog,encourage opening up out of frustration,and most important a young dog is more prone to getting injured with leg bones not being fully formed.it would do the dog no harm going out with other experienced dogs,but only as an education.hth paul Quote Link to post

Thats the last thing i would do.?? All thats happens is you excite your pup, with whats going on, and that the last thing you want.?? Get out just you and your pup, and 12 months old is about right. Just pick a few easy rabbits if you can, it will miss a few but its no big deal. The 1st season= learning the ropes, 2nd= season getting no the crack,3rd season= lamping dog. Quote Link to post

I have never known it do any other dogs i have seen any harm so ill give it a go anyway.And as for getting excited i think he will be ok.He is probably the most laid back dog i have ever seen.Also i work away so will only get out a couple of times a month so i dont think he will get fed up either.
