Why?
You will more than likely go through 6-7 just to find one that MAY work. That is over $400. For a dog you know nothing about....open? silent? rough? loose? fight? You also would have to spend 2-3 months to access the potential of the dog.
Let alone they will not let you have them if you mention hunting, sleeping outside, and they will go nuts if you mention a chain.
I learned a long time ago if you try and go cheap on things....you ALWAYS pay more in the long run!
I can make more money...but my time is priceless!
Dont know anybody that would waste 3 months finding out if a dog would run a hog or not down here, they know in 2 or 3 days!!! The cost of dog food to raise a dog to 2 years old is way below $70 adoption fee as well, so you got a 50/50 chance of a dog working out same as those $1000 pups you have to put $500 worth of feed into and shots and find out they like to suck the muffler on the truck or hang around in front of ya to trip yalol
www pets something, can somebody remember the link, you will freak out if you see all of the adult hog and cow dog breeds they have online for almost free.
i think if you take a dog from a puppy an know what your doing ... if the dog doesn't hunt thats your fault for not putting enough time an effort into the dog jmo ... i raise all my from puppies an they all hunt
