I have been hog hunting my whole life and had my own dogs 10 or so years now. Most of my family has been hog huntin for generations so I has some pretty fair dogs handed to me to work with when I started my own pack. My yard looks like a rainbow with all the different breeds and colors now but all are hog dogs. I have decided to use a half plott half catahoula LONG range male and a pretty lounge range catahoula female as my foundation. Both dogs have tons of hunt lots of bottom and a fair amount of grit. I have a full catahoula pup out of the catahoula gyp and his sire to mix in if need be down the road that are both proven dogs. Any pointers on how tight they can be breed and culling pups and when to out cross or just any pointers
This is one you have to try out to know. Some lines of dogs can be bred closer than others. Inbreeding does not cause the issues. That is a myth. The issues were already there. Inbreeding just brings them out so it is able to be seen. So the dogs that have the issues are the culls. If you use them you will be locking that stuff in to your line. Use the dogs that come out clean (meaning no health issues and good workers for what you want).
