Every now and then I hear someone say that training is the most important factor in making a hog dog over genetics.
What are yall's thoughts?
How do you train a dog to go out 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, a mile, looking for a hog?
How do you train a dog to take a track and stay with it until the hog is found?
How do you train a dog to stay with a running hog for many miles and many hours until it's bayed?
That's all genetics to me, you can't train the hunt, drive and bottom into a dog.
Putting a handle on your dog and trash breaking is the only training involved in my opinion.
Yup that bout sums it up. All that needs to be said really.
