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.

True, but I have had some success in asking them if I could come hunt with them and then getting them to like me.  Once they know that I am serious about leaning dogs, I can get one or at least get a female bred. If you show up in an old timers yard (and he isn't crazy) and tell him you have heard he has great dogs and ask what would it take to get some of his blood (if he liked you) he will help you..  Most of these people just want to know you are serious about dogs and that their pup wouldn't be wasted.
