what happen when your dog at 3 month car,nt catch at that age ,and gets frustrated and starts barking with frustration, seen it happen loads of times,why not wait untill is develompent,and let it be pup at 3 month the pup should be getting lite walks and nothing more ,but like you say ,you,ve done it ,but its not for me

Probably the same as it would if it was 6 months...........try again!

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

[Ideation 8,216]

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.

i wont i know the mom and dad to her allways wanted a beddie x my boy is doin realy well at the mo ive put a lot of time into him but its payed off

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.

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

[undisputed 1,664]

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.

[Ideation 8,216]

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

[Guest crobinc840]

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.
