I had a puppy that did some really smart things as a pup and throughout his life as welll...he was a beautiful dark yellowish red...bred and born in my back yard...I named him Yeller...

Yeller showed me things he could do from around 10 weeks old or so...he impressed me many times as a 10 month old, year old and older dog...but the most impressive to me was what he could do as a 4 month -6 month old puppy...when I laid a track for the pups at eight-10 weeks old he always led his siblings by a good ways and all the dogs he hunted with as well when grown...

When the track became easy I laid one down and made a “J” track and at the hook I doubled back (back tracked) about 25 feet and then I trailed straight away and then I put the drag in s five gallon bucket...I turned the pups loose and sic’d them on and as usual Yeller led the pack around...Yeller hit the end of the track and took it back the 25 feet and turned a hard right and in short order was standing on his rear feet with his know barely reaching in the bucket...that was incredible to me and I thought, no need for anymore drag training...

He taught me what the difference was between a great dog and a once in a lifetime dog...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
