I have this pup and hes roughly 4 1/2 maybe 5 months old. We have a small pasture slap full of rabbits. This pup will flat out get after them. He even caught one before and shook it and turned it loose and wasnt able to catch it again. I kind of like seeing him with this amount of drive at such a young age. I even watch him use his nose and pick up a track and try to work it out..lol.. What do yall think. Should i be allowing this to happen?

I have had one pup that did things that just astonished me...I raised quite a few good ones but none like him at all stages of his life...

sounds like you are going to have yourself one heck of a dog...put him on the game you want before you break him off of rabbits...

I would rather not let them trash on purpose when we can run drags and stage some hunts...at let them work in the bay pen...but it is probably better to let them learn off of off game than not on account they will learn quite a bit...it will just take a little more effort to break them off of off game...

it is sure enough exciting to have a pup do what you have just described your pup doing...that is my drug of choice...  Smiley

a pup that is born to hunt does not need much direction on account they are born knowing what to do...the real gamey well bred pups tend to start out being a little more trashy...

running deer in my opinion is the worst thing for those type of pups...I usually break that pretty early at home...after that just turn them loose on lots of pig sign or in to the strike ore bay...

I would be excited over a pup like that...especially if bred right and with looks to match...  Cool

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

He's this pup.  I have pretty much sold out of hog hunting due to lack of land. I lost my 2 good spots due to sale of property. But this pup always makes me brag on the stuff he does. He really likes to hunt. I watched him wind and follow his nose with the wind all the way back to a spot i was trying to trap coyotes one time. I know its no pig but dang he sure does like to figure stuff out. Thanks ruben !

And yea. I hate when a dog will run a deer. I had a coon dog that would get on one from time to time. And that was the worst thing ever. I've had to leave his butt in the woods on several occasions. There was just no stopping him once he made up his mind he was going to run that deer. He'd cover miles and miles.

When I raise pups man at about 10 weeks old they come out of there pen and just run around and u won't believe the freaking crap they have drug up when they start getting to far from the house then it's time to go in the pen they learn so much crap on there own when there little i think it really helps for when it's time to take them hunting they no what stickers are and how to get around in the brush and know how to run the piss out of somthing already then just have to start trash breaking them

Lot easier to break them from trashing than to put hunt in them. Personally I would let him go. At a year or so old I would start trash breaking. But I run a bunch of trashy dillo dogs. So what do I know. Lol

Haha. All jokes aside i had a walker that a lady found one night. She couldn't find the owner so i ended up with him. He would load right into the dog box so i figured he had some sort of training. He was ARMADILLO CRAZY ! that's probably why somebody wouldnt claim him. We would use him to thin out the dillas at my buddys property. We had a good time with that dog. Somebody stole him right out of my yard though.
