I am very hesitant about letting any young pups be around grown dogs until I am well sure of what will happen. Don't won't the young pups confidence hurt by an older dog roughing them up/over-correcting them. Also want the dog to associate and focus on me and not another dog. IMOP.

Good looking pups. Always exciting to get the pups out to explore.

I fly in the USAF and this is something that alot of aviators go through. If it works on a person it may work on the dog. Dramamine/Ginger root didn't help - the only thing that did was to constantly keep flying and the body will adapt to it. Air movement and being able to see ie. if your dog box has a side that gets wind and allows the dog to look outside should help.

I think it is pretty simple. You don't like the dog don't buy it, if a breeder/kennel is offended by that who cares, as you (the buyer) will be feeding it.

As for the rest - the poster came one here not mentioning any names, kennels or people and asked a question in the most respectable way possible so as not to offend anyone.

I prefer the pup that is biting everything and generally the pest. That energy seems to transfer well into whatever work I want them to do. That is for a working dog, for a family/kid pet then I go with the more laid back independent dog. Have owned both types of pups and prefer #1.

Tyson 10lb chicken quarters and raw eggs. Sometimes hamburger or deer.

I have seen stuff similar to this before when training service dogs. Feeding off the Handler is spot on - had a young female malinoise puppy that was showing the goods to be a superstar LEO K-9. Doing solid bites, tracking good and good odor detection. It was decided that she would go to an older Woman to work for a while - figuring the dog was on the fast track and all the person had to do was hold the leash. After about 2 months we switched handlers on the dog - as she was feeding of the vibe/personality/insecurities etc of the woman and it was apparent that it would affect her working ability.

Have a 13yr old WEB from Jeff Clark. Never showed him a hog - wasn't working hogs at the time - but I am confident he would have made a catchdog. To old to try it now, but am working hogs with two pups from Tico at JUB. Haven't spoken to Mr. Clark in about 8-10yrs or seen his current lineup - not sure if he is breeding but I enjoyed talking to him and visiting his yard.

Tico at Jam Up Bulldog Kennels also has some solid bulldogs bred to work hogs.

Everyone has their preference for what they want in a CD. How do most go about training/cultivating an ideal CD? how many in the pen before the woods? age?

I've heard let them catch an easy to handle smaller pig -45lbs at 6 months, 9 months - 70lbs and then once more at 1yr-100lber - then off to the woods.

Just want others input on how they best develop an ideal CD.

Looks like normal behavior from a good pup, with both playing well together. What does he want the pup to do, run and hide?
