whippet 99 2,613 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 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 Quote Link to post

whippet 99 2,613 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 it would put more strain on any young dogs muscles, bones and organs , it aint worth the risk in my opionion you just aswell wait a while than have a dog prone to injury because of doing to much to early Quote Link to post
Mixed Bag 603 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 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 Quote Link to post

leegreen 2,147 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 As much as you think it needs. Not all pups are the same. I would say not a lot. 1 Quote Link to post
FENS FEVER 147 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 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,,, Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 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 Quote Link to post
FENS FEVER 147 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 well all i say is if its doing it its doing it if a pup cant get to a hare at 11 12 months and show good signs than theres something rong ,,weve had dogs for long time pal even had forley winners finalist and weve always lamped are pups on bunnys at 7 or 8 months and bigger game at 11 12 months then switch them off once there going and bring them back out following season 2 Quote Link to post
