How much at 11 mnths


Recommended Posts


depends what the breed is really,..................i wouldnt be running long ears with a dog that young , i would be just doing some easy bunnies..............

you can damage some pups as there not developed enough , but then some breeds can cope alot better than others

depends a lot on the time of year fella if your talking about a pup thats 11 months old in december you would do it no harm holding it back a bit til the game softens up or even til the stubbles are cut next season

in that case i would be holding it back

theres pups and theres pups same has theres dogs and theres dogs ,,some breeds are well developed if its a whippet type x it gunna be small boned and be prone to getting injurys but if its a big strong pup and plenty bone theres no harm ,,i like to start mine in a bit of long stuff first,,few bunnys then when there ready give them a long ear but make sure at the end of the nite the pup ends up with furr in its mouth ,,i always let mine get a rabbit last but if you are walking its hard ,,,we lads drive,,,

The bigger the bone structure the longer it takes to develop. Whippet types take lesser time than say a deerhound, greyhound etc etc. Just because its a big strong pup, doesn't mean his bones are fully developed. My old man knew a few people who's young dogs died, two I think. Running hares too young. Just let it be a pup.If its keen on chasing stuff that moved still doesn't mean anything, my bitch at 4-6 months was well aware anything moving she wanted to chase, dogs off a lead, cats, birds, you name it she wanted to run an run an run at it lol you'll just have a higher chance of injuring it, it opening up etc etc at early stages. But its your choice
