trigger2 3,146 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 i decide to take the pup out for a couple of hours on his own last night just to see how hes coming along as a single handed dog, most of his work lately has been doubled up just to learn the ropes. it was a still clear night with a light due on the ground so i wasnt expecting to see a great deal, he had a few runs and worked the lamp very well. hes just over 5months and a week old stands at 23.5tts i couldnt be any happier with him at the moement roll on winter retrieved them all to hand 3 alive and one just about alive. 1 Quote Link to post

Country Joe 1,411 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 You will be pleased, but i also would not run a Pup so young, he is not muscled up,you could end up with damaged young joints, also his bones have not finished growing. Buy Penny Taylors Skycat on here, excellent book Running Dog Maintenance, and read the first three chapters 1,Exercise and condition 2, Muscles,their function, strains, ruptures and treatment 3, bones and joints. 1 Quote Link to post

Malt 379 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Nice one Trigger. We all have different ways of doing things and getting the same result. Be nice if people could take their blinkers off and see that on here sometimes. Quote Link to post
