Help me be clear on this.
Are you guys saying that a well bred dog, bred specifically for the good traits of catching hogs, can still catch good, have a good handle, be smart about their work, be healthier in general, therefore having a better chance at living longer?
No, that's not what I'm saying. I went a little off topic because of some of the replies above. There's nothing controlled about the woods...you never know when you are gonna bay-up Mr. Bad and lose dogs.
Help me be clear on this.
Do you actually think folks should pay a little more money for a dog like that even if they needed it and a had too?
What I am saying is the exact opposite, that you don't have to pay a fortune for well bred dogs.
Come on! That’s like saying a well bred hog dog has a better chance of being good at finding and baying hogs!
And yes, I do believe a well bred (line bred) dog out of working stock does have a better chance of turning out than a scatterbred dog.
