Thanks mate

keep steering the dog down the path of good behaviour with stock and training in general. Because he will twig there's things to be caught at some point. Not that I know sod all mines a pain in the ass unless its just me and him lol

[bird 9,872]

Deff get them out as soon as possible , Bryn was out at 4 months old, he caught near on 100 rabbits by 11 months , Buck was out even younger 10 weeks old, and he caught plenty rabbits by 13 months old , best bag was 38 rabbits one night, not bad for a dog that not really bred for rabbits . When there young pups they got plenty of energy just watch them play all day long, just channel that out on the walks , so they see fences ,ditches, stock, etc , and they know what these are , and know how to deal with them. because once they get there legs and bit of stamina , they will like any young pup be feckin mad running around like like nutters . it the same as when they see the 1st rabbit , if its 12 months old or more , they can very easy hurt there selves running with a empty head . I used to take Buck out with Bryn lamping , hold him back let Bryn bring them in so Buck would its no big deal, it getting your pups steady your after, and deff works getting them out young, Bryn 10 this year and still catch few, Buck 5 this year and caught loads of stuff . we all different in what we do , ive had lurchers long while now , and when i get another lurcher pup i deff do the same thing again

To be fair he's a very well behaved dog, he's around the 5 month mark he will walk everywhere with me glued to my side with no lead, very well house trained and listens, my missus has a chihuahua and he is trying to be very dominant over it already

He is only 5 months spend time with him training make him carry sit stay take him in livestock break him to it lot of training to do better do it when young get him jumping everything no point caring a step ladder with you in the field training when young.

What is the best way to learn jumping would you say start small and gradually get bigger ?

Look for an old fence on Your daily walk no barb wire on it.

Stand on it to lower it about 2ft high.i don't mean keep standing on it.an old broken fence that will stay down once pushed down.

Throw a stick or whatever over the fence doing some retrieving work with the pup. As he's jumping give the command .up.

Then slowly lift the fence 1" or 2 a week.he won't notice the difference in height and will sail over it.

He will be more Interested in the stick than the fence.

It beats just trying to get him to jump fences on there own.

Make it fun.

But don't over do it just a few times a day.

You don't want him looking at it as a chore to do.

When ever my friends are out with the lamp he's watching the runs but I was a bit dubious wether to slip him at such a young age

I'm taking him out with other dogs at the minute but haven't slipped him on anything yet, he's my first lamping dog really, I've had Salukis and run them in the day time, but I'm fairly new to lamping and I just want to pick advice up from everywhere mate

2 birds with 1 stone mate.

Good luck with him for next season.

Give him plenty of squatters.

Get that confidence through the roof.

get him out all the time and bond with him, get him trained and in tune with you, show him all the places you expect to hunt him on the days and nights , summer a great time for all this , early morning, late evening, as he grows and gets stronger, he will start to wander a bit and eventually something will pop up or jump out in front of him and he will go for it, might take a few times could be the forst time, but when you reach him or he comes back with something, then imho he will be ready to take the next steps weather that being slipped daytime , hunting up in a pack or being slipped on lamp good luck looks a smashing pup,

If I said I'd started every dog off at 12mth old I'd be lying I've started some dogs off at 5mth some at 6 mth some at 12 mth all different ages but il read the dog not give it too much to young if I can help it some people waite til a dogs 2 that's deffo not for me I want a dog to show me what potential it's got at young age the end of the day a hard working life's a short life no good waiting for a dog to be over the his then you turn the work rate up a notch and it doesn't deliver

[Jackbullx 12]

So does everyone think that maybe now isn't a bad age to start him on some squatters just to see how he gets on, I didn't want him to keep missing and end up yapping ?
