I've culled a few dogs for various reasons. Had one go coyote on me. But I don't think I could bring myself to shoot a dog just cause he was slow to come to me and wasn't a fan of me putting my hands on it.
Yeah I'm hesitant because he does better every trip to the woods and even on walks he keeps his nose to the ground and ranges out. He still trashes on anything alive lol, but he just doesn't have any sort of handle to him at all. He will go to every single person except me. I'm gonna give him one more shot in the woods and run him with other dogs and if he still wants to be a "scaredy dog" then I'm gonna cull him. Don't need him as a pet just as a hunter. I've got too many just pets.
