Someone wrote a post not too long ago about dogs where they said something about the only thing a male dog is interested in is getting his pickle dipped and running around.

My opinion is to keep them in a pen and not let them run around in the back yard.

If they are free all the time, they don't appreciate it when you let them out to go hunting.

If my dog thought that I was going to take him hunting right now, he would run around the yard 100 miles an hour.
