NOOK/ANNA 96 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I usually start mine around 12 months. Quote Link to post
Shazza 52 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 It depends on the size and breeding in your dog and its mental maturity. Some dogs take a lot longer to grow both mentally & physically and when one dog may be mature enough to start at 8 months another may be 12-14 months or even older before it's capable to be entered without risk of doing permanent damage to growing limbs.

blue staffy 145 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 don't rush the pup you will know when there ready to start , i just watch my pups when out walking and when they running about not triping over themself and everything else and have a bit of speed about them i try them on a few easy rabbits Quote Link to post

blue staffy 145 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 take pup out with older dog and let the pup watch so they learn to follow the lamp then give it a run on an easy rabbit Quote Link to post
