What did the breeder recommend?
Let the pup be a pup....
I am just trying to get different opinions. The breeder agrees with taking the dog hunting and leading him in. So he gets used to going out and make sure there is interest. If the dog won't hunt he will get me another puppy.
I let my six year old claim him. That way they both get to play. It was also recommended to socialize him. We are working on that too.
