At what age do you guys consider putting your pup out in the kennel alone? I have a 9 week old pup that I've had for almost a week. Been keeping him inside to socialize and get used to his new surrounding but that can't go on forever. Don't wanna put him out there to early. What do you all think?

I have a six month old that is in the same kennel she was born in. She's been there since birth. When she was six weeks old I sold all her litter mates and put her mama in another kennel. She is just fine.

I figured he would be fine because he was born in a kennel and was there until I bought him. He was never a lone though and I have no other dogs. That was my concern.

After I get them home I usually wait a week or two an if it whines or seemed UN settled I stick it in with a stuff animal. For a bit

Pup should have never been brought into the house. Just from past experience [VICTORY HAND]️

He's settled into the kennel fine and did fine in the house as well. Got him used to being around people and other dogs and I think it's helped big time. He should be just fine from here on out.

I'd like to ask to ask y u say that the best dog I've ever owned was raised inside my house from the time she was 8 weeks old she slept with in the bed with my son or at the foot of my bed and did that for 13 years she died on the floor next to my sons bed

No reason why a house dog cant be hunted too. Just wish I could talk my wife into it lol.

I agree with you guys. The way I see it is that if a dog can't distinguish the difference between being in the house around family relaxing and turning on the switch while being in the woods hunting then they won't have the brains to be a great coon dog.

Well said

Thank u I can't stand a hunter that thinks a huntin can't be a house dog to heck I no people who have hog dogs in the house I no people with rabbit dogs in the house and I know one of the best cur dogs in the world he's a house dog and yes he has the papers and trophys to prove it

I would disagree with this statement. Bloodhounds for example are very slow learners with basic obedience commands but are very quick learners when it comes to tracking and trailing. Intelligence in a dog is a very funny thing. That being said most walkers I have hunted and worked with do have the aptitude to learn a variety of commands and are very capable of being a companion/hunting dog. The sooner people realize this and begin to market this as, it will benefit the popularity of the breed, and should result in more dogs being cared for properly in my opinion. However I do believe dogs bred with high amounts of drive, don't always make the best inside dogs because of there need to run. I don't think it is a requirement for a dog to stay inside though to be a good companion.
