skidish dog

Adding to my earlier post. If the dog does not come around within weeks then it is not environment and I would cull. At least nip her to prevent breeding. Then if she hunts use her but I would not breed her. You are the one feeding her so you make the call. I keep my dogs at my dad's because my wife gets too attached. I will put work into a dog but if it is a lot of work then I nip. If the dog never wants to hunt then I find someone that wants it and know it will never breed. I would never get rid of the dog without fixing it. If the dog shows potential it would be how much potential. But I only have a few dogs and plan to keep it a small group. So I started with a small group and they are on trial to see if they will be the bases of my dogs or be culled.
