how you cull

just remember that when keeping a pup until 2 years of age before it hunts then you will eventually wind up breeding a higher percentage of these type of pups.

If you breed early starting dogs that can start a track and put a hog at the other end of a track then eventually you will get a higher percentage of early starting dogs or dogs that start in a reasonable time frame.

An early starting pup varies in age as to what it does...It usually can do things that are above average and is always ahead of its siblings and at 10 months to 1 year old or a little older it is finding hogs and can stay with a hog with very little help. Usually when these pups are ahead of their siblings it stays that way.
