I have always liked early starters but most of my dogs don't do much until a year old. I have always looked at them as dog years compared to people. At a year old they should be doing about like a 8 year old kid. At 2, a 16 year old. They better have it together by then or they need culled.
Yes sir... I agree.
I judge a dog between age 1 and 2... anything under 2 I call a pup.
