Wether you want to or not the forum rules state that anyone new has to be given stick

Having looked back over some old topics, I’m fully expecting a fair bit of stick ?

Why the beef with the saluki cross? I seen my mates dogs run and run all night and not miss much at all, they seem to have stamina for days.

Like alot have said get the training right before anything else. Don't rush or push the dog as they all learn at different speeds. Atb with your dog mate

There is no rush. Thst applies to training, entering and working really. Go slow and steady. Not many dogs have been ruined by being too ready but a huge number have by not being ready enough.

and don't take yourself to seriously its about having fun.
