BEST TIME TO START

[Davy T 3]

Hi....I have a beddy/whippet which is coming on 9mths old. When is the best time to enter him ????...i did have him out last nite for a bit with the lamp showing him rabbits in the lamp.....He was pulling at every rabbit i showed him so i slipped him on one which was way out in the open......he missed which i expected but he gave chase and was making decent ground ....then he started barking..i am assuming this is frustration???? incidentally he did'nt get catch the rabbit !!!Will it be better to leave him for a bit longer in case i waste him or should i give him as many chances as i can at rabbits .....This is my first running dog so dont want to ruin him....cheers Davy

No...where i walk him there is rabbits appear at anytime of the day from a large wood which borders some playing fields....normally i walk with him on the lead and when there is nothing around i let him off and let him stretch his legs a bit....but sometimes he kicks up the odd rabbit which may have been squatted down and i've not noticed it...he has chased these but always run out of field as the rabbit makes the woods 1st..
