Pettin dogs

my black mouths do what you just said they dont stick around me they know i gotta stick waitin for them if they dont perform these dogs are also old enough to know what they are doing wrong an most the time i can scold them with words an never put a hand on them an you would think im killing them ... i raise an train every dog i own an i play with every dog i own my 8 month old puppy ran with my big dogs yesterday an bayed with them an that was 300lbs hog this is were genetics comes into play im very picky about which dogs get bred in my yard an what they are bred too only dogs that will get ahead on there own an find an bay hogs everytime i hunt them get bred i also cull very hard some say to hard but if you get to run with them yella dogs you understand why i cull i will not own a help dog all my dogs better be capeable of finding an baying there own pig or they dont not make the team i personally do not wanna have what people consider a help dog .. yes i do not mind if they honor another bay an help out an thats one hell of an oxymoron but thats no problem but its not cause that dog wasn't tryin to find his own hog ... i've got a male right now that is insanely independent he WILL NOT hunt with another dog he does he own thing an is turning into a damn fine hog dog he is also a dog i put in the back of my truck an dare someone to mess with it i was always taught an told (YOU GOTTA BE SMARTER THEN THE DOG IF YOUR GOING TO OWN IT) when i was little that used to piss me off now im older an i see what they were talking about i've been huntin goin on 12 years now an i gotta few buddies who are new to the game an are not smarter then the dogs they own they think that they should be able to turn them loose as puppies an them dogs go find hogs ... wrong when i take just my puppies i feed them tracks yes i walk with them but them dogs are not near me they stay ahead i do not allow them to walk near or behind me i tell them to get ahead an make them stay ahead when they do right i praise them when they do wrong i scold them my animals will perform or they wont make it ... this is just a little bit about how i hunt not tryin to piss anyone off but thats just how i was raised to do things i know a lot of you fellas have been huntin longer then i've been alive an i respect that so again no offense intended but i do play with my dogs i do make them my best friend i teach them the basics they learn to lead load up an everything before i turn them onto hogs an it works for me but to each his own everyone has different styles an no one is always goin to agree but thats my little input on petting dogs ... works for me
