I like how you bring up trashy pups. My opinion is people will give up and sell a trashy dog too soon but also in my opinion you can teach them what to trash on lol cause they want something bad and just need to be shown what!
I agree the the two pups I got have all the tools just need direction and a solid dog would help me out alot there arent many hogs where I hunt alot of time I dont find fresh sign and turn them out in areas I have been lucky at before if there is a hog there they usually will find it but if it aint they will run deer and run them a long way way over a mile and one is a year old the others 9 months old they got the want to but I want to be able to cast them if nothings there they come back and I move on. My older gyp never done that before but she trashed with them the last 2 time I hunted them thought they were on a running hog but saw deer cross the road they were about 10 minutes behind them and were sure after them I caught them and gave a scolding for it I prolly a lesson they have forgotton by now. Thanks for the replys
