I'm not in any hurry.  I don't breed my own dogs, and I don't start more than one pup at a time if I can help it.  I've got a dog that is two now, and is doing real well in the woods but around six-nine months he wouldn't hardly bark at a shoat in a trailer when I showed him one(my Cleatus dog for those that have seen him).  We started him I think right at a year and within a couple months he was starting to find a hog or two.  If I'd have gotten impatient and culled I'd have been out a good dog.  For me it's worth the wait to see if they are going to turn out rather than go to culling before a dog has even come close to maturing.
