Guest 2GOOD Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 : there are far too many variables for there to be a definative time to enter dogs to game,however it can be interesting listening to other ,,peoples viewpoint .Thisthread started out with a perfectly valid opinion and an invitation for others to give thiers,it quickly deteriorated into a chidish foul mouthed slanging match ,shame on those resposible FTB it was ok untill you joind in Quote Link to post
FightTheBan 1,147 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 do you think most kids should start school at 16 so they dont for get what they have been told YOU ONLY PICK ON 2GOOD BECAUSE HE,S AS THICK AS SHIT No i dont, it just helps . And no, it is idiotic to compare dogs to humans. No one is saying dogs should be kept in kennels till 12 months. As a pup, they should be out experiencing everything and learning for themselves whilst being aloud to be pups. Later stages comes training and proper learning. Game comes last when just about everything else has been covered. One step at a time is the key to success IMO. And thats all i will be saying on this topic. Cheers for reading even if you disregard my comments. FTB Quote Link to post

whin 463 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 ps years ago i wonder if more dogs got ruined with early entering on hares rather than sensible approach to hares ,or if you have no hares the qaurry intended ,localy it was all hares and the odd roe , and asprinking of rabbits phesants Quote Link to post

poacher3161 1,766 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 We used to get our pups out on the moors at 8 month old and give them the odd run on blue hares and 6 months on blue hare leverets only dogs i have seen come to greif up their were dogs that had been held back.This theory about holding young dogs back comes imho from the raceing freternity were dogs have to be a certain age to compete.
