Never no need mate

[Kiellovesannie 24]

So just straight on the lamp when older then straight in at deep end mate ?

What is the rush with people lol when u got everything training wise in place take it on the lamp or ferreting

Wouldn't bother mate let em catch their own all in good time

[Kiellovesannie 24]

done loads of training with them to be honest they retrieve brilliant

Plenty lads start there dogs young but dropped rabbits not for me..I see no need..if your a lamper and mutts reddy we have a winter on the way so crack on.. depending on how the pup is tbh..

[Kiellovesannie 24]

No probs gonna take the ferret out with them let them see the older dog at work a lesson watching wouldn't hurt

[Kiellovesannie 24]

What age would you introduce the lamp to a pup heard many lads say 12 month but seen dogs young flat out just want confidence boosters for them really

[tb25 4,627]

Myself 12 months ish give or take..but you know the dog..that's up to you..some ready early it just depends pal

[tb25 4,627]

Also no rush pal..enjoy them for what there are as pups..we all keen to get going

[Kiellovesannie 24]

All dogs are different my two pups are very switched on, had mine lamping 8-9 month old I suppose it depends on the dog IMO

I was in the same boat as you last year mate i wouldnt drop em i dont really see the point. i supuse i got a bit lucky with a couple of mixi bunnys we found they were not totaly f****d so they where still running but if i was you id hold him back till chrismas time .just look for the sqaters that are a good dictances from the hedge and im sure you and your pup will be fine. its what i did and so far so good . my boy is 17months now and ready for war lol theres pleanty of other things to work on before you get start killing .but thats just my opioin/experiance this is my first lurcher so i could be wrong lol atb mate
