[Shaun Baker 0]

Hello i am new to the site, i have a lurcher "jack" he is pretty good dog does as hes told, he show lots of intresed in rabbits when he see's one he will jump fences etc but he does seem like he wonts to put his ears back and run ? But when we was out with his sister he really run fast after a rabbit with her is it just a case of him being young or need to take him out with other dogs etc ?

 

Any help i would be grateful

 

Thanks Shaun

7 months seems a bit young mate what breed is he usually the bigger the cross the longer to mature I'd leave him a bit and let him be a pup mate atb donk

at 7 months old you don't want to over do him bud in time he will do it hes still a pup let his body develop first

Time is good thing give just small runs not game and u Billding him up most dogs are a one man show think u are slowing your dogs ability to give u more buy letting some one else out mate u should be alfa male

Play with it..........it will learn to run when its a bit more mature

Alright thanks for the advice, Hes hasent be run over no distance just wanted to show him them when he was young see he gets keen for it !

Spot on lads about it still being young , Shaun it will run quicker with it's sister as jealousy kicks in, so it will want to beat her. Ease it off for a couple of months then try it again

I don't think i understand the question?

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

So he chases and jumps fences and runs after rabbits and runs even faster when against his sister?

 

I don't follow the question either I'm afraid.

How is your pup bred?My whippet pup is the same age,its hard but you have to enter them when ready.

dogs to young let it grow then at 10 /11 months let it have ago keep running it now at a young age a you will blow the dog out atb

just work on your bond with the pup and taining through the summer and get it into some gradual work come autumn. there is no rush, you could easily ruin that pup if you push it too young

i would just take it out and about with me when your out walking about it will learn about sent and obsticals it will discover its own game eventualy and do it naturaly it will then be time to go out show it other dogs working then on your own find it a far out in the field rabbit hopefully about six month would have past and if you lucky it might find a bit of mixi in the inbertween time
