Hello

Im 7 months in on trainging my lurcher, he is a half greyhound 1/4 whippet and some collie, bull, deerhound for good measure, he is coming upto 21kg and 25tts and growing, im guessing 25kg for final weigh in.

I believe all is going well, its my first time training a lurcher, (apart from owning a pre trained whippet) recall is good on dummy and tennis ball on and off lamp, but the proof will be in the pudding i guess

Just wanted to introduce myself i am in harrogate area but from NE

Best of luck with him mate, I'm sure he'll do well if you can get him onto game regularly once you start.

Sounds like it is all going well .

I reckon he will be ready in May for his first rabbit which will make him a year old, I say this because he doesn't yet have full control of his legs yet and is still growing.

Has anybody else had a dog become ready in the spring?

Best of luck with your pup lad , have a feeling your going to put a lot of effort in . Hope he does you proud and you have loads of fun with him

The location you reside in equates itself to a mutt equipped for pace,stamina and versatility,with a bit of leg.The sapling should serve you well enough in that area,happy hunting.

This is gonna sound unpopular but I think most is in the breeding, and how much they get out. Training wise it seems pot luck, some dogs you train a lot and they still act like knobs, others you do nowt and they are great. Biggest thing is having a bond and them liking you and wanting to please.

As soon as you go for luck in a saplings development its time to get an hamster and watch it on its wheel.
