Just wondering what everyones thoughts are on what age a dog is finished? I Know it differs with dogs but i have been seeing alot of people saying 10 month old and yr old dogs finished just wondering what others think.

Whatever age the dog shows full potential and is without question when dropped to hunt.

Dogs peak at about 5yrs old, I won't call a dog finished until they're at least 2½yrs old anything younger I may call it well started.

That my opinon as well 3 yr plus or so before they learn all the tricks of the trade and have the maturity to be called finished. Just hunting doesnt mean finished. Finished means every aspect of hunting  not just finding them

Yep and I think a finished dog will continue to improve as well.  I compare hunting dogs to athletes.  To me a started dog elevating to a finished dog is like amateur turning pro.  Once they turn pro they still improve in their abilities and talents ( or they're supposed to  Grin )

I got some four month old finished dogs. Being finished this early with so many hunting years left They have to be $5,000 each

I am of the belief that they are finished when they are in the ground.
