On a average how long does a catch dog last?

Why is it always about MONEY hog hunting is what I love to do so I dont mind spending the money yes bad things can happen it dont matter if it is a $2 dog or a $1000 dog this is part of our sport IMO I like to have a well put toghther animal to me its like buying a horse sure I could buy a old feed lot mare and yes she would get me from A to B but thats not me I am like DFW I want to do it with style so I am going to spend the money and get something bred up some people like big houses and fast cars and I know people talk about those kind of people to so I will take all of this hating with a grain of salt like I said before if a dog works then it is a good dog we all have the same goal and the same love and that is HOG HUNTING
Thank god for the freedom of speech can I get a Amen
