ya'll are stuck in the hog dog world . there is a whole wide world full of dogs that hunt other game . the price of a hog dog is dirt cheap and set at the bottom dollar of the dog world as it is . expand your horizons and go and start priceing you out a finished lab or a started pointer for quail . then go and check the big game and coon hound prices . hell a sho nuff good squirrel dog will cost you 1500.00 dollars lol . hog doggers have got it made even with the 2500.00 dogs that are out there . right now the average price on a purty good dog is only 500.00 dollars consider yourselves lucky it won't last forever .
Heck halfbreed they ain't even gotta hunt people out there pay couple grand to make a dog look purty in an arena , I like mine to look ruff in the woods what I see a lot of people doin is buying these 50 100 $ dogs is turning around a week later askin if they should cull it

Really u get what u pay for imo but u must als do yer research into what yer buying and the history of that dog its yer responsiblity to know and choose to pay what u. Please
