snakes1989 1 Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Hi I know you prob think Im being impatient but do you reckon it would do damage to the pup if I were to take him out for one or two easy runs when he is 6 months old Quote Link to post
rex 8 Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Yes! Take him out on the lead watching and learning with an experienced dog. You will regret it when the dog gets to 3 years old and is crippled! Quote Link to post

BEARINATOR 2,867 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 DROP A FEW FERRETED RABBITS FOR IT IN THE CENTRE CIRCLE OF A FOOTBALL PITCH AND MAKE IT FUN FOR THE PUP. Totally illegal, Snakes let it watch other dogs on the lamp for a couple of months first then try it on easy rabbits, for example in the middle of the field, short slips on to them. All the best with the pup mate Quote Link to post
Guest deerhound hunter Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 defo not you ,ll ruin your dog ,lev=ave him till about 10 ,12 month,you could frustrate the dog showing him things 2 early thats when yapping comes into it ,start 2 take him out 2 watch at about 9 months or 10 months with a experience dog ,and then give him the easiest slip possible,atb..with your pup..dh Quote Link to post
hedz31 1,308 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Why rush my opinion is it takes 2 to 3 years to make a good dog and 2 to 3 minutes to ruin a potentialy good one just bide your time and let the pup be a pup and mature and enjoy watching it learn instead of pushing it what harm can waiting another 4 to 6 months Quote Link to post
d and l 3 9 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 take him out mate 1 or 2 slips once or twice a weeks wont do him no harm, every pup ive had has been started at about 6 or 7 month and stuff with teeth about 10 or 11 month Quote Link to post
Guest crobinc840 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Mine is tethered and watching very excitedly at 5 months. There's no need to show here she's unable to catch anything as a pup. I'll wait until she can keep up with her mum. Quote Link to post
captain jack sparrow 8 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 mmmm my input at 6months of age hes still very young,BUT he should be very keen and wanting to chase iv seen too many left in pens and not showing no interest whatso ever,get them out but only to watch you should be teaseing them at a young age Quote Link to post
