I can get the best out of a dog if he has it, I can assure you of that! As far as taking a 6 mth old to the woods, I will not take a pup until I feel he is ready to contribute and make an impact on things. I have heard these stories of world beaters putting it on older dogs at freakish early ages but I just can't help but wonder........... When 6-8 mth old pups start showing out I will strongly evaluate my pack, I don't care how special a pup is.
I like to see those 6 mo old wonders at a year and a half....more ofter than not they are not around as they never got better than they were at 6 mo.
