Sankey top man with dogs on video saying he starts pups off at 8 months old, so do I little bits and bobs doubled up does no harm, most of the best dogs get started early, no good leaving them till 18 months, start going backwards if you leave them to long 

I've had one of Alan's dogs I kept him back till he was 14 months ran him on till he was just over two very good dog. A was rushed into hospital for a duodenal ulcer which burst my stomach..Was toes up for 5 months so a sold the dog to kipper called reggie. Was great in cover I've not had a dog what could stick to them like he could. A can remember him smashing through this sloe bushes deep thick cover an a thought it's gone an he was in an out back over to this grass area then back over to the sloe bushes an this went on for a good 2 mins. I asked How's he getting on he said mustard mate. To hear that a was glad but gutted at the same time what life at the time had thrown me. But a did right for the dog a was in recovery for 18 months.

I guess it's all down to man and dog as to when it's started.

A dog man who spends a lot of one to one time with a pup will have a good idea when it's ready.

Ive an eight month pup here who looks like it could pull a bull down, but it's still a daft pup !

When it does that mad, full speed, pretend coursing around a field, you can think " it'll kill a hare , no problem" , but a puppy playing around in an empty field is massively different to being towed around on a grueller !

Mistakes can happen when an unexpected one jumps up, but try and let them be pups, don't ruin them by being impatient. They can do the job for you for years, if treated right

Cheers.

What about African Wild Dogs mate, probably the closest structural wise to a saluki type, they start hunting at around 12 months of age.

The key word is start mate. 

Nobody has said you should run them in to the ground in their first season, just steady entering knocking a few over. 

What are we debating again, 12, 18 24, I'm lost now.
