I think imprinting a puppy, particularly one that has exhibited early signs of solid drive, is a good idea. Why not get started early? I guess the only downside that you have to be wary of in the case of a pup/young dog that has high drive is putting on too much pressure to soon (which can be very easy to do because often the high drive young dog seems like it can handle the situation, but the signs that it really couldn't appear later) or moving up the equipment chain too fast. I can speak from the experience of being guilty of the latter and am now paying the remedial price. :( :(

As long as you keep it a high energy, fun, prey game, I say go for it.
