if the dog will hunt and work I wouldn't care if he loved me or not .... I don't handle puppies other than feed'n and worm'n so they will jump from you if you try and catch 'm ..... when I start hunt'n them I want put them in a dog box if I can help it ... I ride them tied right by me and it usually don't take long and they get to handleing perty good ..... good luck hope the dog comes around for you ...
That's the thing, I'm trying to start him in the woods but he is never consistent. He will run with the older dogs for a second then shut down and want to be right beside the mule. Then refuses to follow anything or anyone and won't come to you when it's time to load up. I just can't get a good handle on this dog which I don't like because the ones I've raised from pups are always well mannered. He is my first dog that I've gotten older, he was around 5 months when I got him.
