To each his own but i personally like to see some good things out of a pup by 10 to 14 mo.'s, then i expect alot of them to act like a teenager and regress, or not perform to there capability they have previously shown on a regular basis. Then by two they should be coming on strong or cull.
With that said my cur was kicking up dirt and finding a good bit of hogs for me since he turned 2 in july of last yr until about 6 wks ago and has regressed alot this past month and he just turned 3
I am hoping he just hit a short term slump, he also lost wt and had blood in his stool so i switched his wormer last wk but if he has not got back to his old self by october at the latest....cull.
I wonder what most people would do in that situation? I saw this dog do great for a yr then has had a 6 wk hiatus of doing nothing but honoring bays....cull immediatly or see if he gets back to his old self!
