wow thats to long i would think. they should be baying by now. have you tried them with a smaller hog or dogs that know what they are doing?
I have told this on here before...but I had a 3 yr old (or was coming 4..don't remember the exact age) Catahoula given to me buy a guy who said he wouldn't hunt very well, but I was needing a dog again and I took him. He had several littermates already striking hogs, etc. I took him to the bay pen at Amos Mann's house here in Wills Point, and he wouldn't bark at a hog, even tried to get out of the bay pen. I was not happy to say the least. But I decided to keep him and just take him to the woods. On the third or 4th hunt he struck his own hog, and turned out to be the BEST strike dog I have ever owned. I was offered a lot of money for him when i took him to Georgia with me after he showed out those other guy's dogs. And a guy I used to work for told me to name my price on him. i never sold him and he died on my place an old man. Patience is a good thing. That is why I made the statement earlier on this thread about putting the pup up and waiting. If you have that gut feeling about a dog stick with that feeling.
