I have heard not to pet or handle working dog from tons of people It might work for some but i feel this is very wrong. First off dogs are pack animals I want all my dogs to know and understand I am the leader of the pack. This is obtained by handling them every day petting them teaching them all the thing that you want a grown dog to do.  The dogs hunt for us as a family not a tool. I tell them to come back load up or what ever and they do it. This is learned like our kids if you don't start early your in trouble. The dog is going to hunt or not hunt it don't have much to do with you petting the pup at 4 months old. I am very concerned about turning a young dog loose in the woods with out sequence of milestone first. Faster is not better the slow road prevail in most things. I like the pups to start early but I don't thro them into the fire ether. I will do few mock hunts little pen work to see if they have something then don't worry bout it to much let them get a bit of age to em then see what they got
