I hear a lot of differing opinions on dogs that hunt that are also house dogs. So i guess my question is, How many of y'all have an inside dog that is still performing great in the woods?
We like our pups to be well socialized but we don't want to soften them up...

if you have a true hunting dog , he or she will hunt where ever it lives . all my best dogs started out living in the house from time to time and they were hard as nails and aimed to please .

Few years back I had a gyp that spent alot of time in the house. She was practically a lap dog, lol. When she hit the woods a switch flipped.
Ive got a couple now that have SEEN the inside of the house. I'm pretty convinced I could make them full time house dogs if I wanted to and they would still do what they do in the woods.
The only draw back I see is the exposure to the elements as it relates to hunting. COULD make a difference in their acclimation/conditioning being in the A/C 24-7 as opposed to being out in the heat.
But Like halfbreed said, a good hunting dog is a good hunting dog.

We had a dog awhile back who lived inside. After hunting she would get sprayed off with the hose and go straight to her bed in the living room. Never changed her hunting at all.

I have all my hunting dogs sleep in the house. They go out to their kennels during the day and I bring them in at night. Does not effect them one bit to be able to find and catch hogs. The benefit is you will have a better handling hunting dog!!
