[Cutter Bay Kennels]

you know that did cross my mind.  i think that is a great idea.  i will take you advice and go with it.  What about maybe taking him and keep him leashed until a bay and walking him up to it.  worth it or a bad idea?

Personally, I don't like the idea.  A lot of times it sends a message to them, that when they arrive to a bay, it is time to dive on.  It creates a "catchdog" mentality.  Nothing wrong with working 80 pound shoalts in a controlled woods environment until Ike grows a bit more.
