South hams hunter 8,938 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Nope, every dog is different. Its down to maturity and Growth, you can give a rough age but not exact. My last pup was grown well enough and mature enough to start on rabbits at 8 months old where as her litter sister still hadn't matured enough and 18 months 2 Quote Link to post

Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 If you do start your pup young then take it steady. Don't lamp 20 - 30 rabbits with an 8 month old pup. Quote Link to post
