Title: Question about pup Post by: ekirkland on August 30, 2012, 12:46:15 am My oldest pup is about 4 months old and I'll take her walkin around the pasture every now and then and she will bay the hell out of a cow. I don't wanna whoop her off right now being that young so I just let her go at it. But today she got a little ruff and latched on to the cows neck. Haha. I haven't showed he a pig yet but my question is should I start gettin on to her about bayin the cows at that age?

Title: Re: Question about pup Post by: Lance on August 30, 2012, 12:53:26 am At that age I don't get on to them for baying anything. At about 6 months I'll start letting them know that it is not cool to bay my horses. At 4 months I'm tickled to see enough prey drive to see them put their mouth on a cow! It sounds like you have a good pup.
