Although truly i did not know the extent of what i was getting into with him. Dint get me wrong he is a good dog just not the best dog and i consider myself a good dog owner but not the best trainer.
Next question,
Given what i have explained about my dog, and the fact i think i should wait to get a new dog until Chase is old. How old is too old to place a pup with a old dog? Should i wait until Chase passes? Just to start fresh. I don't want to over work Chase when he is old, having to defend himself from the little terror.
I wont be leaving myself without a gundog because Piper is young and will be around long after Chaser.
