Listen to Heaven Sent

I would recommend not doing what I did. I went out and got dogs. That was because I could not get people to take me with them. But I did not find this board fast enough. I would say don't get any dogs. Go hunt with people and see how they hunt and how their dogs work together. Not Just one person but several people. I have burned lots of diesel to go hunt with people. Help them work the bay dogs in a pen. That will help you learn about the hogs more than it helps the dogs. Before you know it you will have more dogs than you can handle. Only pay for a dog that you go looking for. People have unplanned litters and you can get puppies for free or cheap if they know you. If you take a free or cheap dog and sell it you will not get another one. The most important thing you can do is treat people the best you can. I have dogs I payed for that I will listen to the people that sold me the dog. So go help out dragging hogs and working pens. The rest will fall into place.
x2 good advice that will give you a very good idea in what dogs you wantin to hunt
