EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Ok so when I'm working nights, I look and see what I can find interesting . And a lot of time I see people selling dogs as good dog hunt out good nothing wrong, but then it gets me thinking is it that is there really nothing wrong with the dog or is it they got back from a bad hunt and the dog messed up and wanna get rid of it ? Just curious what yalls opening is on why people sale good dog so late I've seem plenty posted for sale after midnight up to 3-4 am. And this aint aimed at anyone in perticular .

Well I don't even look at the dog trade just because I here so much negativity about it but to others defense maybe they work nights too. The only time I look at the forums is usually like right now and it's 3:37 am where I'm at

the way i see it... if it is a pup a year old or an older dog there probably is something wrong with it and with a small pup it is luck of the draw...I would rather buy 2 or 3 small pups and take a chance on luck...at least with 2 or 3 pups one increases the chances of getting one or more good ones if they are out of good dogs...better yet breed your own line...

I have sold some when I had my dogs that were like that. Nothing was wrong with the dog(s). Just something I personally did not like about the dog. Dog performed, did its job, no problems at home or in box, but there was something I either did not like that I could not explain, or in most cases was not rough enough for me. Mostly not rough enough for me. I liked dogs that would catch anything under 150 or so, and if it was bigger and showed its ass to run better catch no matter what to keep it from running. If the dog did not do that or just sat back and bayed while the other dogs were fighting the hog to keep it stopped etc... it was gone. 

Well nobody is gonna go out to their dog yard and pick their best dog and put it on the dog trade. Tey are gonna pick the one that is making the mad, not hunting worth a crap, and generally just a cull.  You might get lucky and find a diamond every once in awhile but it doesn't hardly happen.

I think it's pretty funny as soon as a thread pops up on dogos, game bred Pitbulls, hog finding poodles, ridgebacks, or whatever else, within two days there is 20 people selling those exact dogs and about 50 people looking for em  ???  Some people can't seem to put two and two together, because "If the grass looks greener over there, it's because it's fertilized with Bullnumber 2!"  ;)

generally you wont find a good dog at all in the dog trade you just gotta get to know some people on here let learn to trust with you eventually you will get a pup out of some good blood or you might get lucky like i did and get a dang good dog! I got a couple real good friends on this forum one of them is a home town be he helped me get started and we hunt together time to time still! Then i met someone on this forum that is a great guy and i would still be just getting lucky from time to time and running into a hog! but he helped me really jump start with some 2 great dogs and a pup and now i go and catch plenty of hogs lol! You just gotta meet the right ppl and wanna learn stuff there are a few older guys on this forum that are stand up guys and if you wanna learn they will help ya just gotta find em!

x2

Hahahahahaha you and I think alike. Remember the doberman thread? Lol

I did i put my best 2 gyps on here 6 months back one went to georgia and the other to Austin area. She was jam up silent redtick just didnt want to deal with females anymore. There are a few honest people on here still that sell good dogs

Most of them are coming off there high that late at night and look out there and aw hell I got get rid of these junky pisses of shat!!

Hmmm let's see who I can screw out of $200 dollars

lmao that's sadly true I bet

Honest people?

Theres a few Coach LOL  :o

Good luck tonight coach hope them boys get state

I figured out to just get a pup. There is always an extra pup and you can get a get dog that way. But who is going to raise a dog and train it and then sell it for $200? If I have fed a dog for a year or two and worked that dog I ain't putting it up on the dog trade for $200. I had someone joke with me to grab a stray dog and call it a hog dog. Now I don't think they were joking. I bet they would put it up in the dog trade section too.

   i've got some dogs for sale , but i think i'm gonna wait till 2.30 am to post them seems they get more attention from folks by what time they are posted than what they can actually do lmao . for you boys to hate the dog trade ya'll sure do look at it a bunch .

Ive been done wrong on the dog trade twice. I wont buy a dog now unless they will let me come to their house to get it.

x2 Then I know where to go if they did me wrong.

i only look at the post if i know the poster. and if there is a hound. a nice hound

How do you get done wrong unless you let yourself get done wrong. Lord, lol...after all the threads about buying dogs, what to do, what not to do....I don't see how anyone gets screwed anymore.

Shane that was directed to another person that threw a comment in that thread.

LOL I know just messin with ya LOL.

It comes by trusting people before reading all the threads.

True Dub! It comes by making plenty of friends on here and trust. Doing your homework,                   calling around some get pissy and post they don't want any small talk and just want to sell the dog, red flag!!                                                       Have 20 posts and 19 of them are selling dogs, red flag!!!!                       Selling their pack and two weeks later buying more dogs, red flag!!!             

2x ..... Idk but maybe there should be a 50 post minimum to post in the classifieds...

I think the best saying on there is "MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN"
Bahahahahahahahahaha :laugh: i think what some people mean is "YOUR LOSS IS MY GAIN"

You hit the nail on the head in my opinion. I have noticed that there are quite a few who post primarily in the dog trade. 20posts and 15+ are in the dog trade should be a big red flag!!!!

I put a damn good dog on the trade earlier this year for a damn good price because he hunted WAY to far out for my liking. There are people on this site that will vouch that he would leave out and hunt. I had literally over 40 texts/PM'S about the dog in under 24hrs. Anyway I drove over an hour from my house to sell him then returned home and loaded my dogs to go hunt an hour in a different direction. At 3:00 A.M. I got a text saying that I screwed the guy I sold him to and blah blah blah.........I told the Man that I sold him to that I would gladly buy him back if he didn't do what I said he would. So when I got home at 4:00 A.m. and unloaded my dogs I got back in my truck and turned around and drove all the way back to buy the dog back after hunting all night. When I picked him up he had blisters the size of baseballs on both front legs due to a vest being on him way to tight. BURNED MY ASS!!!!! >:( >:( ..........to top it all off before I left he tried to sell me a dog that would "sure enough hunt" unlike the one I sold him..........come to find out a month or two later that the dog he tried to sell to me wasn't even his......he stole it from a so called "friend"................Then I also learn that numerous people are looking for the guy due to shady dog deals...........................................

Long story short I no longer use the dog trade.........but I do check in just to see who is sellin what and to burn time at work lol.  ;D ;D ;D

  lol  thast why i very rarely put dogs on the dog trade . i like for the new owners to have a [ little ] dog savy . plus the fact i put in bold font  NO TEXT MY PHONE DONT TEXT .   and after i push the post button i start getting text after text that i don't answer , amazes me to no end .
