I currently have a 7 month greyhound X whippet and for about 6 weeks i have been slipping her at home in a field about 50 - 70 yards.

Today she has just ran her 2nd handslip at 150 yards and she clocked a time of 9.31 seconds. Her last 25 - 35 yards her front legs started to slow down compared to her back ones.

Now the reason i am posting this is a guy told me that I should not be slipping her the full distance at this age he said he has been doing this for 10 years and although he is not telling me what to do he thinks i should take his advice.

Seeing her run the way she does i dont think there is a problem, the last 25 yards or so i believe is something that she should keep doing in order to over come this error. I am new to this game so please post me your opinion

At this age you could do more harm than good as their bones are still soft & their joints are still developing. You might be lucky & have no problems but there again you could ruin the dog.

Impatience as ruined a lot of good pups over the years.

Hi unwanted

I cant pronounce the fathers name but northern lights is another term you use for it, and to be honest i cant remember the mothers name but i do have it written down at home.

Gogo, I have to totally agree with Suzie, 7 months old is far too you to be giving a pup 150 yards hand slip. It is far better to keep to half that distance until the pup has more strength and bring her/him on gradually. I know there are a lot of people in the sport have their pups running full distance at this age but you are putting a lot of strain on the joints, which have not fully developed.

All the best with you pup in the future. :thumbsup:

think you better off starting bigguns at the earliest 10 month, or wait until she has no knuckle showing,as when you put them behind a lure they give 150% to get it and some times injury them selves as they are not set up.greyhound left well over a year, know a trainer starts 14 month +. :luck: :luck:
