I don't think people don't understand GENETICS....Better genetics means out of a litter you SHOULD have less culls......Training now is SOME dogs will try harder then others period.... Theres so many variables to this tho....but it starts with genetics....

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.
