If I dump my 8 or 9 months pups in hog sign, they will trail the hog up & either catch them or bay them. They are not broke at that age, so they only get turned out on tracks & they wear tritronics. I agree with Taz, if they are not doing it all on there own by a year, they are culled at my house. Just my criteria.
Now let me explain. My pups run loose until they are about 5 or 6 months old. They start off running rabbits & by the time they graduate to deer is when I pen them up. From 3 months to 6 months they are running loose & using there nose, no training on my part, just doing what comes natural. Then I start them in my 25 acre hog pen. I have one running hog in there. I can find out quick which ones can trail & which ones cannot. If they cannot find their own hog, they are culled, not sold. By the time they are 8 months old, they are ready for the real world of hunting. I put a lot of time in my young dogs & it pays off.
It boggles my mind on how many people will just leave a pup in a pen or on a chain & take them hunting at a year old & are disappointed because their dog did not do anything. Then they say Ole wonder pup is no good & his breeding is no good. My dogs do not do good sitting on a chain.lol
