Pups out of her where 2,000 each. Were just getting started here now what for dogs did you say you trained? and Mandy never ran loose......
Cheyenne is working today so I will fill in. We have lived at our current location for over 17 yrs. For 17 yrs pups have ran loose here, some of our own many belonging to others, there are always 1-4 and always has been. On a conservative estimate that is over 250. Chey was starting pups and hunting young dogs long before we moved here. Currently we have 2 running loose (had one go home last week and another come in), 2 young dogs being hunted one is 8mo old the other 11mo both go hunting and can tree their own coon and a several little puppies that are in the big pup pen not quite old enough to run loose full time, it is like this all the time, a revolving door. He was working pups and young dogs long before we moved here. Dogs he has owned or started and sold or started for others have won everything from World Championships, to State titles and state races, winnings in the 100's of thousands. Pups belonging to some of the most well know comp hunters, stud dog owners and plenty of pleasure hunters too have sent their pups here. There are many out there that do not enjoy getting pups going and don't want them back until they are hunting and running and treeing. You spent several post criticising those who offered advice but yet never gave one suggestion to the man asking for advice.
Everyone has their own methods, ours just happen to start out running loose. Nearly every pup benefits from it. Pups learn to navigate the timber, work water, cross fences, ect., it also developes natural independence/indifference and they have the ability to develope more tracking ability. Most are running and treeing by 6-8 mo and will go hunting when taken not stand at your feet. We don't worry about off game because most do pretty much break themselves when coons start coming out. Shockers are never used on young pups, when they are treeing coons consistently then they are broke if needed. We also never pull cage coon up a tree. Because they are not just turned loose and forgot, most develope yard dog smarts by social interaction with the family from kids to now grandkids come when called and follow basic commands aiming to please. When they start running and treeing good running loose it's time to get penned up then the real fun begins.
I realise that many people do not have the opportunity to start pups the way we do so to the man asking his original question the most important thing you can do is get that pup out of the pen every chance you get. Whether it be to play in the yard, ride in the truck or walk in the woods. Start with the basics of obedience and set it up for success by exposure to the woods, be patient pups take time but if you are willing to put in the time and wear out some boots you could end up with something special. I know Cheyenne would be willing to answer any questions that you may have or if you need advice along the way call the number below.
