That is a point to consider. I thought you trained yors by themselves to be independent.I train all mine with my very best dogs. My best dogs and pups make lots of tempoary losses in the marsh. The ahead dog opens and the behind dog hushes . If not I have a potential babbler on my hands. After a half hour or so they get tired enough to quit that babblig excitement and get honest. I call mine independent when I cut one loose and he hunts, strikes, tracks, runs,vand trees a real live coon - see and kill. Other than that, if I had five or six all out and they got to treeing their own coon independantly, I would have a mess on my handss.That's in the marsh, In the woods no reason for a young pup even to make a loss long enough for a slow dog to catch up on a decent track. But something to consider.
