Goning to be a good dog ...bulchit

well it has been my observation thru the years that , the folks that start these threads [ as a rule ] never join in on the conversations . lol just joking around . but you are right for the most part Rueben . and older pup most likely has been worked a little and the seller most likely see's something in the pup they don't like . now it may not be something bad . it could be showing to be either too gritty or not gritty enough . and then there are those that didn't think thru about this dog hunting life and never realized just how much time and money as well as sacrifices that is required to handle a yard of dogs . like the old saying , AT WHAT PRICE GLORY . and then there's the old [ no time to hunt ] sorry but if you love running dogs you are going to find some time to run , a dog doesn't have to be taken hunting every day or even every week or hell month to stay in the game , sure they may not be in the best physical shape but they don't forget lol hell I ain't been able to hunt in a couple years , but after a little conditioning on the dogs as well as myself I could throw these old culls down and go catch some swine but i'll be horse whipped before I get rid of them lol .
