Just an FYI for people that have never sent a pup/young dog to a pen or let them run loose for extended periods of time... even though they have full self feeders at all times, after 30 days and 30 nights of running wild, they r going to get alil thin. During that time the pups will wrestle and tussle, just like kids do... therefore they r liable to get some scratches/sores on them. I suggest everyone apply or give by mouth, tick prevention before dropping off. Also a good dose of wormer before hand.
Now, 98% of the pups will not b running and treeing by themselves, nor will they b ready to win when they come out of the pen lol But imo the positives far outweigh the negatives. Letting them run gives them a jump start on life, helps them to mature, how to navigate through a woods, introduces them to different smells and a good majority of them will start treeing before they leave... which makes ur job at home a thousand times easier!
If u can not except all of that, I suggest u keep them at home in a foam box so they don't get hurt.
