At what ? Racing, coursing, lamping, ferreting?

Get it out and about ,in the motor,for small walks etc soon as its jabbed.. stock breaking next with farm stock, ferrets etc,let it get used to rabbits hitting a net,then from 10 months onwards let it watch another dog on the lamp and find it a few easy squatters....penny should drop

Depends on the individual dog, but definitely not before 6mths.

I'd get him out as soon as vaccs kicked in with the ferrets and getting him used to navigating the countryside, fences and obstacles while he's young and slow. Whippets need to learn the dangers young and it's all bonding, learning for the future.
