I usally wont work a dog none until atleast 2 to 3 months after a hunt. JMO

Keeping dogs in a crate can also lead to growth problems...
the reason i mentioned it was becuase jack said "How in the hell can such a thing happen ... and how in the hell can such a dog fight anyway?" just so happen he had a yard accident earlier last month.

he could not walk well as a young pup, he was always very slow and made it look like it was painful to walk. i would let all of the pups out in yard to run around and he would just stay by me, and go off in his own direction. if another pup would bumb him while running he would fall over and just mind his business.

Jack this is the same pup i posted about the bone deformatity problem. he walks slow, cant run, falls on his face, after a 20 min walk his body just completely goes out and he needs to lay down fror a while to recover.....to many problems with this hound, the only reason i am keeping him and holding on to him until he is adult because of the way he bred and is worth a lot of money, so mabey as he matures and his body fills out it might change. but as of right now i try to socialize him because he is shy and doesnt know anything. so i try to spend time with him and gain his trust,.
