Club mate asked if they wanted to send it, he replied its fine its trained out to 50 miles I’m sure I read somewhere that Back in the days before life rings were introduced you had to have your youngsters squeak at ringer before they could enter YB races to prove they were actually youngsters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neneland Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I have sent squeakers to the first race, from memory I think 12 weeks old is as young as you can get and send with confidence. If you can get them down the road and coming well, then they are ready. In the end, the birds will tell you whether they are ready or not.
