dog prices

I know a few guys who take a lot of pride in the bloodlines of their hog dogs. How ever they don't sell their pups. They are very selective about who gets a pup, but the pups are always free. Most of the people that we hunt with do not buy dogs. But i guess if you are new to the sport and do not have any of these connections...you have to start somewhere. Our best dogs were free, and the highest we ever paid for a pup was $25. A good place to look for a hog dog is someone who breeds cattle bred curs, if they cull a pup for being too rough on cattle, it will usually make a good hog dog and you can probably pick it up for a little of nothing.

Oh...and i wouldn't take a help dog if you gave it to me...(dime a dozen)
