Rabbithunter 456 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 i sure hope he'll do the buisness.... he's already witnessed how to track an injured buck.... and he has had a few runs with the older dog (accidently of course, as i wouldnt intentionally give a young dog any big runs) Quote Link to post
shaddow 166 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 i reckon its well past 12month old for a heavy saluki bred coursing dog before they start to get full speed , especially if they quite big , but some dogs mature faster than others Quote Link to post

Guest Frank Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Every lurher is different. As a genaral rule, racing greys, are kept out in paddocks ect, till their a year old, as after this, they are too fast and can crash into each other, getting broke up. Quote Link to post
