Re: shed hunting dog article

I read the article last night and did not agree with the author on alot of the article. Especially where he says "First, the dog should be at least 8 months old before testing" Sorry but IMO the younger you can get a dog started ON ANYTHING the better it's going to be. Also if you try his test #1 and 2 without a trained dog and expect it to do everything right, well I'll just say good luck to you and sorry that the dog is just "expected" to know what's goin on.

JMO but it wouldn't be the article I would recommend to someone that wants to train a dog for sheds, or anything else for that matter.

Re: shed hunting dog article

I did not say I agreed with the article, I said it was very interesting. I do think it was interesting & look forward to part 2. I also do not agree fully with the 2 tests. I do not think you will find to many pups that will retrieve the way he wants every time. I do agree that you need a pup that acts very interested in retieving.
