my blackun is just starting to calm down abit lol nearly two now,aslong as hes hunting hes happy,granted he is the most stubborn b*****d out,and has allways been great with the kids,i cant let him off the lead coz hes in hunting mode then,hes done every thing ive asked of him hunting wise,but he wont be winning an obediance class at crufts lol,he is also getting good a guarding my van ,which is a bonus too.
