Title: Re: need help Post by: shawn on February 16, 2009, 08:22:48 am how long have you had him? it might take a little while for him to warm up to you.
we had the same thing with a dog we got awile back, took him a few weeks to get used to us, the other dogs, and I guess our style of hunting (we walk, rarely use 4 wheelers) Now he's usually gone for hrs at a time and finding pigs left and right. I'd just keep hunting him...

You get what you pay for in most cases. Let him adjust, see what happens. My experience says, if he doesnt come out of it soon at 2 yrs old, dont waist your time or use him as a help dog.
