Ok let's stop all the bs. Lthogdoger is a nice young man. I think he is like most people and needs to slow down and be patient. About a year ago he contacted me and asked if he could come hunting. Well I am very hesitant to take lots of people, it can cause all sorts of problems. Well after talking to him a couple of months he did come hunting with me, just a tag along. He is a very nice respectable young man, who is very busy in highschool sports. He comes from a good family, his dad brought him to my house and meet me before he was even allowed to go hunting. He had this gyp then and was wanting a dog that was not open on track so he could hunt with others and bring a dog. Many will not let him bring an open dog along on hunts, so I understand where he is coming from looking for another dog. I wish he would just slow down & tag along with others for a wile but I know how youngens are and want there own dog now. I think his intentions are true and is a nice young man. I would bet the gyp is a nice dog, just not the type of dog he desires. I am not wanting to stir the pot, I just want to try and end the bickering.
Insight tends to change things. I do know how his situation can be. When u run a dog that is different than the other folks u hunt with they don't want u running ur dogs with them. I personally run a RCD and a couple rough bay dogs. Most of the ones I hunt with have back up and bay dogs. They don't like my dogs on the ground until we get a runner then its turn urs out.
