franks barn 10 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Franks Barn,don't take this the wrong way matey as we all do things different ie: entering dogs to work...why would you feel the need to run a pup of 8 1/2 month on a hare?..the point being exactly what?...how many seasons would you get out of a dog?..Not trying to nit pick fella,just i'm amazed quite frankly with your post?...would you be getting the pup upto a fair stage of fitness to run a hare at that age?..ATB Andy. quite simple answer is, if you don`t get your dog used to dykes and other obsticles when young it will proberbly injure itself badly when older and faster, and be crap at combating the same. have seen many dogs killed and injured on dykes when they come across them at 16 month old and at full speed for the first time, important to get them working around dykes Quote Link to post
weasle 1,119 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Can be down to breeding or frustration,and probally other things as well. Ive had one that would do it and its a hard fault to live with All you can do is tip the balance for a young dog and keep it winning and hope for the best. Quote Link to post

Does it have to be hunting? Not after an argument, just discussion.......... Quote Link to post
franks barn 10 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 when you say getting him used to dykes, tell me a better way than putting him behind a hare and letting him cross a few. ? walking along a dyke is not getting him used to them Quote Link to post

I'm in no rush to get a lurcher working as my intention is to run it until it retires. But i get pups out the the fields and woods as soon as they are jabbed up and used to obstacles and the outdoors........ Quote Link to post

Your approach is similar to my way of getting them used to being around traffic. I just lob them out the car in the middle of the M6 and they learn pretty quick 1 Quote Link to post
