I'm in the process of warming one up to me and my pack right now and I knew that it was gonna take some time when I bought him.I saw the dog do some amazing sh@t when I picked him up but he has only had one owner all his life and I believe that they get depressed and miss there yard and people. I've taken him to the woods 2 times and my buddy is talking smack on him because he ain't shining but I saw the dog with his master and I have all the confidence in the world in this dog.Hopefully you saw them hunt and they'll come round don't beat on em let em get to know you and they'll show you what they're made of.
I have seen some sure enough good hog dogs not hunt for someone new to them...the more you know about dogs the sooner they will hunt for you...I have seen between 2 and 3 months before a new dog wanted to hunt...once he decided it was on...
