"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".. Some people think those are crazy prices for dogs, no way. I've seen two dogs that ended up selling for $3500 a piece get flat embarrasses by Boogie and Briar one day. I know of another man who has paid $5k for a dog multiple times. No offense but if you havnt seen the best of the best, it's hard to put a price on them. We don't hunt for the $$$ or anything else, strictly the enjoyment. But it would take an open check book to buy some of the dogs we hunt now and have hunted in the past...
For those dog trainers out there... if you HONESTLY think you can take any dog from the pound or whatever and train them to be "hog-dogs"?!? Well sit in my own opinion you need to raise your opinion of what an actual hog dog is. I know you may have been lucky now with your current pack but to say you can train anything is pure bs
Let me put it in a different perspective for y'all trainers. 75% kids grow up playing little league sports. Let's take baseball for example. Sure all 75% of those kids are "baseball players". Now you get to highschool and maybe 25% of those kids make the baseball team and call themselves "baseball players", then those kids graduate and now 5% are actually good enough to play college sports and call themselves "baseball players", finally the cream rises to the crop and 1% of those kids actually are "legitimate big league baseball players"
To me hog dogs are the same way. Some people hunt t-ballers, most hunt high schoolers, the majority of good ones are college athletes and the superstars... Well they make the big bucks in the majors!!
Awesome explanation...the cream rises to the top...picking the right pups is of utmost importance or we will be spinning our wheels...not an easy task...
