gizmo88 1 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Fair enough fella he seems to be going well you said you got a beddy x now aswell my favorite x lol not being to biased but you won't go wrong with them lol Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 you run your dog as early as 3 month and your dog will be lucky if it has 2 good seasons and thats including its first Few easy runs............not an 8 hour lamping trip on alternate slips with a collie x.Would you not start your ferreting lurcher that early? would start any lurcher untill about between 8 months day time rabbits and then 10 months lamping ,running a lurcher at 3 months old is backward Pro's and con's to everything fella.......people do it different but just because you don't it don't make it wrong This has been said loads of times on here.........what if you're lad was boxing....would you let him spar until he was 16 then throw him in the ring I'd stick him in the ring with a lad his size. I wouldnt stick him in the ring with a lad who knows how to fight. Same with the dog, i'd want it to meet its first rabbits in a slightly less unbalanced situation if i had a choice in the matter. Getting it out and experiancing is one thing but slipping it on the lamp at 12 weeks is a little early is it not? P.S Sunday? We'll agree to disagree on this one then young fella Give you a bell Naaaaaw we agree i'm just bored and fancied an argument. Quote Link to post

Rory4 267 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 like bird said, dont be stupid letting it lamp before 8-12months. seeing few ferreted netted bunnies do confidence good, and take mooching with other dogs that will be catching wont do harm as long dont walk to far. easiest way to wreck pup starting it to early and deliberately lamping it is mad.

scent 509 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 id get her on a few squatters and build her up nice and slow my dog started at 3 and a half months and my new pup is 9 weeks and she will be going out next week just when you think the hunting life cant get any more depressing Quote Link to post
undisputed 1,664 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Jeeeeezus whats the fecking hurry why not spend the first year training your dog properly, breaking it to livestock, ferrets etc. Rabbits will still be there next year. Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 You could do some serious damage to young developing joints/muscles/bones. Don't waste the dog, have patience. before you give anyone advice make sure you know what you are talking about,spend 10 minutes and find out how far you are off the mark I'm not arguing against taking a dog out mate and showing it a bit and letting it experiance the life, there is a lot to learn. I just meant i wouldnt go out for a nights lamping armed with a lamp and a 12 week old pup How you feeling now mate, fully mended? All the best to you and the family for christmas Quote Link to post

Guest crobinc840 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 i wouldnt slip a dog if you paid me my dog workes lose That's a nice looking dog you've got. I'm keeping mine on lead and she watches her mum work. I will only be ferreting so not into the lamp but plenty of grown dogs are being injured and they know what they are doing. I think it would be better to give it some easy experience and give it time to mature. You're going to have the pup a long time so there's no rush. Best of luck whater you decide. Quote Link to post
