graham4877 1,181 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Take lamp at 7,1/2 month let it watch for a bit, then when pup wants to go and you think its the right time and place let the pup go on a clapper! don't go over 2 runs on the night! Nice flat field with as little shit in it as possable, other lad will have their dogs out lamping at 5/6 month running the beam , well thats their dogs and most of the ones who i have met change dogs like f*****g toys! whatever error you make with your pup now you will have to live with for the rest of the dogs days! If you go out with someone make sure you see their dog work before hand as your pup will pick up good and BAD from that dog! If you see the dog work and you would not want your dog like that,find a one you would want your's to be like! Quote Link to post
darklord 25 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 easy easy,a pup will only run a rabbit when it wants to, but more pups damage them selves runing around after each other or after the other dog then chasing a rabbit in an open field Quote Link to post

I can see huge vet bills or worse whenever they run together, at least when it's just us she only runs into me Quote Link to post
cantona 310 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 it wont be long till you will be trying to stop it chasing every rabbit it sees in the distance,next stage in development, one extreme to the other Quote Link to post

Shazza 52 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Admit my pup does a lot of running. I'd have to keep her on the lead all the time otherwise, soon as i loose her she takes off like a rocket running figure of 8's like the devil is on her tail. Once she's let off the first burst of energy she's much calmer and focused. If i don't throw the ball she's likely to start the zoomies again once she gets her breath back, she just loves to run. I take her out twice a day for 1-2 hours at the moment, any less and she's a total git to live with so what do you do, put up with a mad dog bouncing off the walls or take her out and risk over-excercising her at a young age? She is BARF fed. I reckon we do at least 10 miles a day Quote Link to post
Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'd be damn happy that I had one that likes to run and I'd let her run til she cant run no more. Quote Link to post

fox digger 1,086 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 a lad was telling me that running a young immature pup on rabbits can ruin them. i thought to myself shur i know the reasons why and dont run any dog on purpose untill after 9 months and its only a very small bit even then. but he went on to say that a dog not fully developed that runs after a rabbit can often bark out of frustration because it cant catch it and can often carry this trait into adult hood and bark when coursing rabbit........ first time ive ever heard of this and not the obvious damage that can be done!.... does it stand up or is it in his head?? i did have a bull hound that always yipped on the first rabbit of the night but perfect after the first one so might be somthing in it, i was amused when he told me this yarn and curious to know your thoughts....

BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I certainly wouldn't be worried and I definately wouldn't be setting myself up for future trouble. If the pup does start chasing rabbits at such a young age it may well get quickly frustrated and that can lead to a dog that 'speaks' when in pursuit. And that's not good. I'd wait - enjoy your pup and I'm sure all will be well. Quote Link to post
