advice about lurchers

Thanks for all the advice lads, I have now purchased a 1st cross greyhound/border collie. The first question of many is what is the best way to break the pup to ferrets and how soon should i start.

Thanks Ian

as soon as possible

Let the pup have access to the ferret,first looking through the wire of the cage,then running free,control the contact,making sure the pup does,nt become to boisterous and the ferret not to nippy.

i think break is the wrong word, allow the pup plenty of controlled access to the ferret the more the better and in time the pup will accept the ferret as part of the scenery, let them drink together etc by the time they go out together they'll be firm friends
