I never felt this was at all heated. Just everyone expressing their views and I'm glad someone answered your question and explained it so well. I'm Old and stuck in my ways I guess and I just won't budge from my opinion. :D :D :D

thanks guy for all your advice, and i would not ever think of breeding her at a young age,but she has been ran hard since i got her. she always run with my 15 in fast males. she is a real star in the field. i know what a dog is, and would never think of breeding her if she wasent special. anyone that want to see her run bring your best dog, and come out to run. i garentee she will be in the race and doing a lot of work. i just say this because ther are people that think that age has something to do with running ability i have had 8 mounth old pup that run better than some 5 year old rabbit champions so age dosent desifer natural ability. now sertin dogs run off the bat those are naturals the others are not

My goodness!! This post is taken on a hot topic. :bomb: To each their own. I've often found that is someone is going to do something you can argue till you're blue in the face but that person is still going to do it. Fellas, we're all different and have different ideas about what's best but the bottom line is it's not our dog and I think we may have to agree to disagree, regardless of what your stance is.

PS. For the record I like to wait till they're at least 2 or older. :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:
