Sighthound 49 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Just thought I'd put up a few pics of the pup I got off Brigg. Now 6 months old (almost 24 inches tts) shes caught 3 young rabbits and a crow so far! A very strange pup, very headstrong, she also rarely runs! which is a bit strange for a lurcher, the rabbits shes caught shes scented and either pounced or just done a quick rush...very strange. She'll also watch rabbits that are yards in front of her and not bother, something I've only seen in much older dogs. I can't yet quite make my mind up shes either going to be something special or a monkey Anyway here's the pics. ps as you can see she still needs to grow into her ears! : Quote Link to post

I agree that at that age she is still too young for 'proper' work, but for a daily mooch with my spaniel and whippet I see nothing wrong with taking them out at that age. She's been doing this since she had her jags, been ferreting numerous times (as an observer) and generally out when the other dogs are out. I've always bought my pups up this way and in that 30 plus years it's never done them any harm, they gain nothing from being kept in a kennel. Indeed she caught her first full grown rabbit early this morning, true the spaniel pushed it right under her nose but it all builds confidence. Quote Link to post
