chartpolski 23,110 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'd of thought that was a good age to start training Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post
BEARINATOR 2,867 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Too young to be slipped but perfect age for stock breaking and training good luck with it from another greyhound hunter Edited May 4, 2012 by BEARINATOR 1 Quote Link to post

robwelsh 354 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Don't attempt off the lead stuff , their extremely fast and strong dogs, even at 5months, the result will be your dig nocked over, dead cats etc lol I have a bitch which is slightly bigger than your average bitch greyhound..anything she sees running she's on to ..I might be getting a dog in the future, either pup out my bitch ,or a gh..I just love um lol Quote Link to post

BEARINATOR 2,867 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 At 8 months some stupid f**k probably tried too much far to young and its a "jacker" :yes: Or they are moving on to a new hobby or whatever, if it's totally unspoilt then it might be worth a go Quote Link to post
