hounds prime age

Post by tiny »

The old saying is that an old dog can't learn new tricks but just at what age will a dog reach when it climaxes on it's runnin skills?I had a very respectable breeder tell me one time that he didn't consider a dog a rabbit dog until the age of 3. Just wondering what some of your opinions are?
