Andy Jenson dog's here it is

[Trueblue]

Seems like this situation has resolved itself and that is great ! Any man who lays down $4000 on a dog sure wants to be satisfied with his purchase. From what it sounds like the dog needed some time to adjust to its new environment. I can't help but think that this failure to adjust more rapidly is an undesirable trait, at least it would be for me. I would consider that type of behavior to be a fault in a dog. A big one. I have seen hounds before that had this and other quirky behaviors that I did not like. I know a guy that had a Walker that would quit treeing if strange dogs or strange people came to the tree. I was given a bluetick once that would not let anyone but me pick him up. He would even hide off the road until he heard the specific sound of my truck coming and then he would pop out of the brush for a ride. I gave him back as I did not care for that behavior at all. I have heard others say that they have had hounds that would not even go with strange dogs. I know one thing for sure, any dog that leaves my house for a sum of money will be well socialized and mentally capable of doing what I say he will on day 1 or it won't leave. As a seller I would not care for the idea of having the uncertainty over how long it might take for a dog to adjust or whether it will ever fully adjust, and I don't think any buyer wants to have to worry about it either. Who knows, maybe Andy turned the dog over to soon and never was able to see what the dog was capable of. It does not sound like the type of dog that I would want to have to unload, especially for big money. No dog deal is worth risking your reputation and integrity over. I would rather deal with hounds that are mentally sound enough to hunt where ever, when ever, with whom ever, so these types of situations never arise. I'm not trying to point fingers or find fault with anyone here except for maybe, the dog.

I would agree with you totally 100% normally but not with this dog. Owned the dog,hunted the dog,sold the dog and hunted with the dog and his new owner numerous times. The dog had 0 personality problems out here. My best guess would be the dog went from being rigged 100% of the time to riding around in the box and put on the ground on a track and probably thought he was being set up?????????? Not making excuses for the dog or the seller just saying i never saw anything remotely close to the behavior described in Colorado in the 5 yrs i was around the dog out here. The dog just hunted! In any company and around anybody.
