I like to see those 6 mo old wonders at a year and a half....more ofter than not they are not around as they never got better than they were at 6 mo.
what's led you to believe this? Honest question
Honest answer....my eyes. when i ran beagles in the trials there was always a bad lil young dog tearing up the hunts his first season, next season he was gone, they never seemed to get better than they were at 6mo. There are some like you say that keep getting better but in my opinion the ones who make the long hual are the ones that start at 10-12 mo old and keep progressing with age and get better every trip. Thats the type I like to hunt,one that just gets better every time vs the 6 mo wonder dogs.
