Took my Smoke/Jazzy pup out for the first time tonite with the intention of walking him around while the old dog hunted. Boy, was I fooled. He took off right off the tailgate with the old dog. The old (100% straight) dog struck about 250 yards in and ran it around the lake bank. At about 350, my pup opened, ran the track with the old dog like he had done it all his life. I said to myself, he is running the dog but at least he is running!! I was wrong about that too. They drove it 1.1 miles to a hole. When they hit the hole, both dogs hushed. The old dog came back. NO PUP! At this point I'm nervous because I didn't have a garmin on him. Hell, he didn't even have a name tag!I drove around looking for him and found him 30 minutes later 300 yards up the ridge alone in the opposite direction of where I found the old dog. Whew! was I glad to see him. I truly believe that if he had been running the old dog, he would have been with the old dog when I got him. He will have a tracker on next time I unsnap him, lol! You are right, Smoke pups are NOT afraid of the dark!
I know this is a bit lengthy, but D*** im excited!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, he just turned 5 months old yesterday!
