Bob, Great looking pup! I think getting a young dog when your current dog is somewhere between 5-8 years old is a good strategy to bring a pup into the fold. The pup can learn from the older dog, and the soon-to-be senior can begin cutting back on his/her hunt time gracefully.
Will you run them as a brace?
