A few questions??

[mcrvtr 0]

Hi everyone, ok I have a 12 week old bull lurcher. He is 3/8 bull 5/8 greyhound, stunning brindle etc etc. The question is though, knowing it is an age old debate, is when should I start letting him see live game, and more importantly when to start slipping him on live game. What age? I've had him retrieving rolled up rabbit skins in the house and the garden but his vacinations arn't complete for another 2 week so cant really take him anywhere else. Should I start letting him see lamped rabbits as soon as possible, but not slip him?

 

Any other info very much appreciated.

Try this as a rough guide

Once the jabs are up to date try getting him out and about while your exercising him so he can get used to different scents, terrain etc etc but everything in moderation.

Not yet concentrate on training and socialising, puppy hood, it needs time to develop and mature, see labs and lurchers note, and look back a few pages on training a lamping pup.
