night moocher 41 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hi skeet a dog of 5mths should be getting as much retrieving training as possible,at this age hes what we call having no legs yet,just be patient and start him when hes older,try him on the rabbit about 10 mths youl know then if hes ready.

sthelens hunter 73 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I WOULD START IT AT ABOUT 9MOUNTHS WONT DO IT ANY HARM BUT DONT OVER DO IT Quote Link to post
SkeetChamp 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 ok so any time around the 9-11mnths old then is the best time to start. Quote Link to post
Lennard 10 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Dear SkeetChamp, I would wait at least for 12-15 months, working on obedience. When you start stimulating the prey drive it will be hard to add any field obedience. Also at 9 months the dog might not be mature enough mentally and speed wise...that combined with difficult rabbits might lead to an unruly yapper. Be patient, get it obedient, fit and wise and start off with some really easy rabbits and you will have years of sport. A dog entered to early with the faults related to that WILL turn you off.

bazz 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) dear skeetchamp my self i wouldnt even think of runing him at all , never ,not even in a million years because he is a very shit dog with no brain and will never know the dirrence between a rabbit and a sock. and you are a nob and you talk a lot of poo . good day cock boy and all the best with your rat pm good mates all ways YOU DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HA HA HA HA HA Edited January 15, 2008 by bazz Quote Link to post
Guest SJM Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Every dogs different but I would agree with whats been said about getting your retreiving, recall and basic obedience good first before you start working your youngster. Around 8-10 months is a good age to start doing a bit, little and often is the key Quote Link to post

Simoman 110 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 As others have said, get your pup stock broken, obedience sorted and enjoy your time together......... Quote Link to post
