Bluedogman
Six Pointer
One of my blue dogs is gonna have pups soon that being said we’ve been trying to have homes in line for them as soon as they are ready I had this one guy ask if I knew how to train a coon dog Me having five blues dogs I feel I some what know what’s going on ya know. So he asks me if I can train the pup for him. I told him if he took the pup home and worked on basic training (come,sit,stay. Ect) and bring him back at about 7 -8 months if help get a good start for the pup The guy proceeded to tell me that the dog should be finished by the time he’s a year old.... I know I’m talking to some guys here that’s trained a few dogs and know as well as I do there is no such thing and a year old finished hound.. so I tell the guy this and he totally disagrees with me (as expected) and tells me how I don’t know what I’m talking about But any way the guy won’t leave me alone after me telling him I can’t help him. And it got me thinking... in your opinion from start to finish how old of a dog would you consider to be a finished dog? I’m talking about a dog you’ve started at the right age and hunted a minimum of 3 weeks a month. And I know every one has a different opinion of what a finished dog is My definition of a finished dog is a dog that a cut loose and I know for a fact in a matter of time I’ll be walking to a tree with a coon in it. I look forward to y’all’s opinions and any advice to get rid of this guy too haha.
