[twist]

Have read often where laying up a young ptospect that has stopped preforming will help. What is the theory behind this how can this help have never had a great prospect stop advancing with just constant exposure. Andy

I may be wrong but don't like to push a young dog one year or younger and sometimes even older, I think every dog is different, and that is one of the most important things I watch for when starting a young dog, my idea is that if you overdo it, some might get bored or sick and tired of doing it so much, it's like John Wick say's if a kid loves ice cream and he eats it day after day he will eventually get sick of it, and I will add he may never like it as much again, but if he does not eat it for some time he might start to enjoy it again, I think there are other things to lay a young dog off for, like a me too dog just running with the rest and not doing it on there own, it turns into a bad habit, I sure don't think I know everything about hunting with hounds but that is my opinion, I just hope that might help, keep that blood going, nun better, let me know when you have another litter ready, thanks, Kim
