Mine was rough and extremely hard headed. Bad to fight anything, anytime, anyplace. Hard to cut. I wound up leaving mine in the woods because she would not come in and load up. She would come close but not close enough to load up.
I don't tolerate a dog that won't load or go with me so we parted company.
Your a lot nicer then me brother. Dog better hope it doesn't have a collar on of I can't catch it on foot.
I have had some young dogs that were timid a little and just didn't like the truck and would lay down in the brush out of sight but the running away when you get close over and over and over pushes me over the edge. Mabe if I didn't treat them good and feed them great dog food I wouldn't mind but "don't bite the hand that feeds you" / dont piss off the boss man. CULL HARDER FELLAS:)
