Good hunt Noah and good luck with your pups...
I let their maturity level guage how hard I push a pup and at what age. They are definitely not all the same.. Those that start early will get you excited.
X 2 That way seems to work the best for me. I have to admit though that the old saying of "early to start, early to quit" stays in the back of my head though..
I feel the same way. I've seen too many of these year old super stars burn out by the the time they're 3 or 4. The slower maturing dogs always seem to make better dogs in the long run.
I judge a pup between 1 and 2 years old.
