The 2 main things a hogdog has to have is Want To and HUNT and unfortunately those are the 2 things you just can't train into a dog.. If you could train a dog to have drive and want to then the cops wouldn't buy
10,000 dollar malinois dogs from germany, bird hunters wouldn't pay ridiculous amounts of money for pointers and god knows we wouldn't pay 3-5,000 for hogdogs. We would all just pick up a free dog and "train" it to do whatever we wanted. There is a BIG difference in training a dog to load up or sit or jump and "training" a dog to hunt hogs..
Anybody that thinks they can train a dog to hunt, find, run and bay hogs I will drive to your house and stop on the way and pick up every stray I see and in one year I will pay you $2500 for every dog that you make a hogdog out of. Not only that, I will bring you the ones I cull off my yard that are linebred off hogdogs for 4 generations and will give you $3000 for every one you train into a hogdog.. No way you can lose..
Now with that being said there are definitely certain people who are just natural dogmen and can get more out of a hogdog...
I wish i had a dollar for every dog that was a stray or came out of a dog pound that was trained to be a hog dog in south texas before the web....be a huge pile.....
