Finished dogs

As far as the selling out goes I sold out due to family and work reasons. Sold some good dogs cheap too. They were dogs I would still feed if I had the time to hunt like I want to. This after hunting for 16 years with my own pack and I still have the itch in my blood. I just can't do it like the dogs deserved.

With that said there are those that HAVE to sell out but don't want to. An good dogs out there for sale for that reason. Just few and far between. Look at their old posts, amount of posts in the forums compared to dogs for sale, and ask questions of fellow hunters about the person/dog. Ask for references on the dog with people they have invited hunting etc... I was willing to give this and more if asked. I always pushed for the "buyer" to come hunt with the dogs and me. If they say they don't have a place I call BS. If they want to sell the dog bad enough they will find a place. I gave a two week trial on the finished cur dogs no matter what, and took them back no questions asked. I didn't give trials on pups or young started dogs, and catchdogs as I was burned in past on them. With that said if the person called back within a day or two with a problem I would work with them or take that dog back as long as they came back in as good a shape or better then they left, but not a week or more.

Granted though my best dogs went to friends free or cheaper then I listed them for because I wanted to keep track of these better, and they were out of my folks line.

Good luck and don't give up.
