I have a 19 month old female that I recently bought. She belonged to a young kid so she really has never seen the woods much. I started hunting her but she wouldn’t go far so I decided to run her with an older dog I have that hunts deep. The older dog has always been a good honest dog and never ran offgame. Well tonight the older dog opened on track and ran a track that went into a fallen tree in a big thicket. Young dog followed in and I heard a crazy fight happening. To make long story, it was a possum. I did not shock either dog, just scolded them and led them away. I was afraid that if I did shock the young dog after the first time it showed some gameyness and grit, it would hurt things even more. Obviously I’m upset my older dog ran a possum but I’m equally upset my young dogs first good taste of fur was a possum. What do I do now?

Nothing, let's face it, what happened is over, nothing you can do about it now. I really would not be to concerned, 1 time will not make any dog a possum dog no more than 1 coon will make any dog a coon dog. Just be careful in the future. Dave

Things to remember.
A good dog will never bring a sorry dog up to his level.
A sorry dog will always bring a good dog down to his level.

Keep hunting. In 6 months you'll never know it happened.
