LaddyLurcher 261 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I suppose what other breeds in the mix make a difference, his sire was a deer/grey 28 tts but his dam was bought as a deer/ grey x whippet little 21tts bitch an absolute demon worker. Mine is 23tts so he's not a big dog really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchers 2,855 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) I've ran these all my life and like gaffer says they do take there time mature,they could act like pups till they are 3 but they will still kill and run from 10mth old on rabbits but there legs are still all over like a pup.just take your time with it and let it do what it does while you are out with it and it will learn as it matures.atb Edited April 30, 2015 by lurchers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I took him out for a little look on lamp last night dint see anything apart from a hedgehog which I didn't see but he did so that shows he's looking down beam, I will keep him active and let him show me [BANNED TEXT] he's ready.

Doing a lot more than rabbits at 10 month, retrieving of course. ? if you put the hours in and are committed to the dog they'll be ready to start sooner than you think.
