Depends on the pup. Many people show a pup cage coons too early.

A pup should be bold and should not be fearful. If they act that way put the coon away and let the pup get a little older and more confident.

Also be careful, many good prospects have been ruined or set back due to over working them with a cage coon.

The last two pups we have raised we never showed a cage coon, and they both turned out fine.
