Pups first season

[Luckee legs 476]

We run ours in canicross harnesses. Once they are a year old they can run 5 km if you have carefully introduced them. We start about 6 months doing maybe 1 km in several short runs. Obviously they are already capable of tearing around off lead at that age and the reason for caution is they will pull hard and give everything if you let them when running or biking. In the photos you can see how hard our whippet pulls and that's on a 10km run in the lakes. To be honest I wouldn't run them on a bike until a year. Stick to running with them

Yer good age to go steady with her an have a good few runs over season, mine will be 16 months September so not too bad either but to be honest he’s already had 2 squirrels and 1 rabbit by accident in the day, won’t intentionally go for anything until next season, might take him ferreting in march for 1 then leave him to have summer to think about it then

Does pulling into the harness make them pull on lead when just walking them? Atb

Spot on mate, years ago when Buck 14 months old, I was just biking  down the lanes when I lived in south staffs. A rabbit ran across the lane, this big that pulled  me off my bike in to edge, I was fookin mad, because.if been another motor coming other , he pulled into that. Then.i tried him again  when 2 1/2   he had not bad season, few rabbits and couple foxes, so deff new them red things with teeth.going couple weeks on bike ok no prob.  When just before dawn was out, went pass  a field. With big gap in it  prob to get there tractor,  and traliers  down. He must have  seen the fox in field. I didn't see it, he  just pulled me right through  gap, me and bike went arse over it,  that soft prat running down bottom field. I to next one with lead on.he come back no fookin lead. Was lucky as it was other side of edge by the far gap. Didn't bother with bike no more, just done couple nights lamping most weeks, that kept  big bugger fit lol
