Not a hound thing at all. I own three and they all load but they mature at a much slower rate as pups. Even at adulthood, nine times out of ten a hound is nowhere near athletic as a cur. Putting a box in front of them for assistance allows them to perform the function on their own and build confidence. If I drug MY dogs over a tailgate they would probably run from me the  next time I went for their collar. I use the same method for off the ground kennels.

I would not expect your Majestic hound to load until he's at least a year old.
