I do like the timing , mine should be just a few weeks younger. IMO a 7 or 8 month old dog is easier to deal with than an 11 month old dog. Like bird dude said light the fire.
I do hunt try to pheasant hunt them a few times that first year but I try get them out on the slam dunks and not the long walks. I’m afraid they will get injured while they are still growing. It’s not worth it the risk to me . I maybe over cautious but hip or growth plate injuries are for life.
