as noah and the other guy said, they should at least be stock broke and come when called.

if you spend too much time on basic obedience and parlor tricks with a young dog, it'll be bonded too tightly to you.  you don't want them standing around waiting to be petted.  you want them a little bit standoffish and independent.   this applies to dogs that could go either way, genetically.  if they're wired to go hunt, all the obedience training in the world won't stop them.

if you like 100 yard pig dogs, train away.

better yet, forget all that crap i just said. the short answer is, it depends on the dog. lol
