FINISHED DOGS!!!!!!!!

JMO Terms are started and finished

Started=a young dog that is old enough to go to the woods or the pen and bay ( or catch ) where u would take them on a actual hunt

Finished= a dog of varying ages that is good enough to go on a hunt by himself and get the job done no matter what the job task throws at him.
In my opinion they can be as young as 1.5yrs on up that would depend on the amount of hunting that certian dog experiences. Imo if you hunt a young
dog alot like some guys do as much as 2-3 times a week they can possibly be finished at a younger age than most would consider finished. with that said yes they will learn something new on every hunt but all that does is improve a finished dog to be a better hunter that makes our life a little bit easier

so hunt the hell out of the started dogs and give them the experience to become a finished dog
