storm323 191 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 If you feel the dogs only ready for a dropped then the dog ain't ready ! Lamp or bolted 10 to 12 months old just the hard bit of keeping them away from rabbits long enough ! 1 Quote Link to post

low plains drifter 10,768 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Try dropping your rabbit in a heavy iron pot with veg, herbs and wine 1 Quote Link to post
jcm 2,327 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I have a Saluki x which is 10 month now started her around 7 months and she works the lamp quite well now room for improvement must say but getting there but like you said I knew she was ready for it So you have 3 pups on ?? Are these your first dogs, why anyone would want 3 pups is beyond me. One pup is hard work even for the most experienced dog man but 3 ? 2 Quote Link to post
Kiellovesannie 24 Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I have 3dogsbecause I enjoy lurchers and I have the space for them I've had lurcher before and done things differently with my other dogs by the sounds of things Im better off waiting for my pups to grow like ppl say no rush is there I've listened to the comments and I am going to wait till I think the dogs ready and carry on with my 10 month old bit ha d focus on her for new and leave my pups to be pups atb Quote Link to post
whitefeet4190 1,729 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I can't believe people sometimes, the dog is no where near physically or mentally mature at 10 months let alone 5 months, if u started ur job at 10 years old and where expected to be as keen to turn up every morning at as u did at 30 years old we would all be jobless ? My pup has changed from wanting to play to hunting but wouldn't dream of entering him to anything and he's nearly 10 months old Quote Link to post
