just bought a cur, he is 11 weeks old we go out in the woods for walks so he can get the smells taste and what nots, coming home he was just a ahead of me suddenly he stopped went back to a big ol turd pile,, already doing what I need him too do lol. always has a nose to the ground, we are working on fetching. took two days to get his name down, knows sit and pen up already I am rather impressed how smart these little dogs are. Now he has lots of puppy in him still but coming along faster then I figured he would. When I say he knows sit I mean he knows I wont pet him until he calms down and sit or lays next to my feet its not a every time thing but he is getting there.
