a pup will go when its good and ready it depends on the dog itself and if you been into terriers long enough you will know whens the right time some are to keen for there own good so need holding back a bit where as others just need that little bit longer its all about knowing that individual dog atb biza

why you letting him see rabbits

[jamie2004live 163]

as has already been said depends on the dog but more importantly when the owner decides its the (best) time ive seen a few hard uns entered to early which has put them off a bit or made them jack, brng them on properly and if dont make the grade at least your not blaming your mistakes

[fensaluki 35]

Some good advice you have had there bud...Like said take your time and make sure he is ready and also that you are ready as has been quite rightly pointed out.

Many a dog with top class potential has been spoilt through rushing their entry and not getting it right for a start.

 

Also I would suggest if you want to use it seriously for ground work rabbits are the last thing that you want him to see.

Nobody likes digging to rabbits and even worse many dogs have been lost trying to reach them.

 

If he's seen them already as you say mate get him broken off them as soon as possible.
