my personal theory is that the pups will be more inclined to hunt what the mama hunts if she is hunted while pregnant...but with hog hunting it would be dangerous to hunt her...especially in the last 2 weeks of pregnancy...

feeding the gyp a pig ear every now and then after one month of being pregnant might help in helping the pups to want to chase hogs when they are old enough to hunt...same with letting the gyp bay a hog in the pen a few times...

if she were a rabbit dog, squirrel dog, or coon dog I would hunt her almost to the last week mainly because I believe it will make the pups more inclined to hunt...JMO on that...
