Guys - I don't believe I was bad mouthing the men...I just don't believe you can breed any foundation dog and get all great dogs...I have talked to David, good man...I just believe that if I were starting out I would rather get my pup from someone who line bred hog dogs....I have foundation dogs in my yard, I also have non-papered hog dog blood in my yard. I am just trying to let new hunters know that there are better options than paying $500 for a pup they may or may not turn out. Unfortunatly, many people bond with their dogs, and after keeping the dog for 1.5 years are going to keep it. Now, those that view the dog as a tool will take it back (evidently this never happens)...
That's another good point, but most old timers that have a line of hog dogs... no one can get their hands on them. Unless you're a very close friend or family member, you'll never see these dogs for sale.
