Lamping couring dogs from advise I have had is more to keep them fit as for when to start them I think that is a carefully negoseiated topic

i was thinking that, if you put a coursing dog to a good lamp dog, you could end up with great pups for the lamping game.!plenty of stamina +drive

Lamp the fcuk away, lad I hunt with has a coursing bitch and have never seen a problem with her day time work , the bitch works hard on the lamp and works same during day.

It all depends on what you choose to do with it in the future? If you say you lamp most your dogs then i cant see the problem? But if you got the coursing bred dog to do the daytime then i'd hold back until you start taking it out daytime. Starting it off lamping could encourage it to pull up at fences and not go into cover and you'll need a dog to do go into cover through the day! Hope this helps

I had well bred lamping dogs, and killed hares with them in daylight to, and it never seemed to bother them..

I'd agree to a certain extent: I like to get them catching by day first, and it teaches them the difference between big and small rabbits. I made that mistake of lamping small rabbits first, and the dog in question took a while to realise that big rabbits don't stop in hedges. Nowadays I get them going through cover by day first.

does not hurt them day or night it is all good for your dog i did it and run the fens has well so do what u think best mate

[saluki mania 9]

depends what you want it for mate if you want an allrounder do everything with it, if you want an out an out coursing dog stick to the daytime then enter it to other things later on if you want

[thomashyne 54]

Yeah be ok if you want it stoppin at hedges i wouldnt

[paulus 26]

the more it sees and does the better the dog will be, carnt see any point in restricting a dog to one discipline tbh.

I had a well bred dog so to speak myself some year's back..i used to walk him during the day bushing about then take him lamping on a night..i used to get him out pretty regular and never had any problem's with him focusing solely on any chosen task..

Their smart enough to adapt to different situations including night time and daytime imho.
