I won't say it's the right way or anything, but I don't like messing with pups under 7-9 months all that much. I believe in trusting a breeding to produce good dogs and then just let them grow up. Once they are capable of keeping up, I like to have a hog bayed and turn them into it. Go catch it, tie it and leave it. Then later go back and turn it loose and let a pup go find it again. It's feet and body should be pretty sore so it oughta be a good enough match.
