CBK, what can you tell at 12 weeks old?
Place the rest with your hunting partners... judge them when they hit the woods. I want to know what I have and what percentage makes a dog.
Mike,
You'd be surprised what information you can gather by 12 weeks. As for the placement of pups, I agree, and do. If they leave my yard, I regularly request updates. I guess the question I have for you is :
What is a successfully litter?
Let's use 10 pups in a litter as our example. Is only 1 pup that turns out to be even interested in hunting, yet better than any dog it is hunted with worthy of the " successful litter" tag? Would it take 7 out of the 10 to make above average dogs?
