Tips for a newbie

[CountryCnut 64]

Hi, all

Im 31 and just about to start my journey into the world of lamping and lurchers, always had spaniels as a youngster and done plenty of beating, ferreting and shooting.

a few years back a mate took me lamping and the bug has got me.

Ive recently got myself a 3 month saluki greyhound as this is what my mate runs and I’m well impressed with his 3 bitches and what they can do. 

New to running dogs and THL so any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers guys, 

Chris

Don't give her anything but rabbits until 14 months or so and remember a dog acts older then it actually is atb

Like above tag along with your mate, just spend time with your pup putting in the training and getting to know each other. Make training a game and take your time mate. Hope you have many good seasons together. And they is some good folk on here and there's some that knows fcuk all. Atb j

Break to livestock, get basic obedience sorted, recall , heal , let it see your mates dog run and catch get it fit then introduce it to quarry , 

 

don't run it on hard runs
