Don't rush your pup. Or better said "you don't be so impatient"! A five month old pup has lots of time ahead of her. Let her mature.

My hunting buddy and I have two pups out of Bodacious. They are 11 months old. Mine has been started for a couple of months. His pup had done very little until a couple off weeks ago. Now he craws on the wood and trees like a pro. Big loud mouth and going like a ball of fire.

Way too many people are looking for a coondog at 6 months old. And they are just plan nuts to expect it. I've been following coondogs for over 50 years. I think I know a little about coondogs. Most dogs start showing their abilities around 8 to 12 months............. not at 4 or 5 months. A natural treedog, may show strong tree signs at 5 or 6 months, but they still have to mature in the woods.

JUST MY PRIVATE OPINION, PUBLICLY EXPRESSED LOL
