I already know my thought on that, I believe if it's bred into them it will cut your training to at least 75% if u live were u can let a pup run loose, what's y'all's thoughts on this ?

i am with ya on that. I like for my dogs to run loose until they get their instincts working. They become woods wise and that cuts training down a good bit.

JodyMullins, Lonnie Uchtman, Gary Uchtman and many more have told me the same thing, if u can let them run loose till their running and treeing well, then put them up and start hunting them, it will cut your training on pups at at least by half maybe more !

I let them run loose til they start treeing then i pen them up. If not they could start a habit of leaving the tree

There is no substitute for letting a young dog run loose near good timber/game woods.
