I am not greatly experianced as many others on here but I would believe it will do it naturally when it feels fit, but work on basic obediance first and stock training before running wild.

 

I read rabbiting terrier and it advised 1 year to 18 months before working

 

All the best

Get it out and about as soon as its had its jabs. I take pups out from 10 weeks old, put them in a bag and carry them when they get tired to begin with. Nothing beats early exposure to the hunting environment. Just be careful that a keen pup doesn't end up stuck in a bramble or hole! Keep a close eye on a young pup, let it wander about following its nose, meeting other dogs if you can, let it learn about nettles, brambles etc. Play lots of games with it: with a rabbit skin dummy. Let the pup see you as the avenue to all the fun it has. Pups are just like kids: the more you engage with them, take them different places, the more confident and happy and adventurous they'll be.

i have them out as soon as they are jabbed. at that age they soon learn to keep one eye on you. stock break them and sort the recall and your off and running. i would advise you get a locator system for your dog as they can and do go to ground at an early age. let us know how you go
