Well started dog

What's your definition of a well started dog as far what they should be able to do.

Depends—

You buying or selling?

OLD TIMER

I would be interested in the right one.but was just looking what everyone's opinion was.

My opinion of well started would be a young dog that trees 50-75% of the nights I take it hunting. The occasional possum but no other non climbing game. Slick trees would be 75% or less depending on the time of year. Hunting range wouldn't be factored in at this point as much due to the consistency of finding a track and treeing. This is what I would call a "well started dog". It's a notch above lightly started and below finished. Hope that this fits the question

Well started

Loads, leads, no off game. Goes with the old dogs trail to tree
Alone maybe struggles with harder tracks; able to tree easy to medium long tracks .
Well started- needs boot leather and woods time.

Well Started Dog

More than likely the well started dog I'm looking for is not for sale or I couldn't afford unless I got lucky…

Getting lucky find a young dog that hasn't been handled right…or someone hasn't the room for the young dog…

So I would look for a pup with lots of potential
