I try not to cull any dogs till at least a year old and I don't get too excited over a pup under 6 months old barking at a pig. I've seen too many of them that just never really made much. Some of the best dogs I've ever hunted with and owned didn't really do much till about a year old. Now in a perfect world and if I could just order them like I want them they would all be finished out at a year old..
ive had several start strong under a year old and b burnt out by a yr and a half...
So would you say your dog burnt out because you failed to "train" him properly?
