The best dog i ever had took two years to break of deer , I stuck with him and when he gave up he made one of the best strike dogs i'v seen. Too much grit seald his fate at six years. was a good dog !!!! Sometimes it pays to have patience !! Hunt' Um Up !!!
from what I have seen is this... a young dog that don't want to quit a deer is a dog that wants to hunt and catch game...that's why I try to break them mtn cur pups at an early age...
