I sold out in 2007...in 2009 9 I got back in and am just now liking the 7 I have...I leased a Plott gyp for a fair price but drove 40 hours total to pick her up and drop her back off...She is a good hog dog and she was out of the mans best dogs and the line out of some well know big game dogs...and I bred her to one of my males...and I like four pups that are 7 months yesterday...I believe in breeding my own because in my opinion I have a better chance getting what I want...
if you don't mind the wait get you an older gyp not needed or a female out of excellent stock that is not that good,buy her cheap and breed her to a good stud and you will have something to take to the woods in a year...
That was another question I had. I did get offered a BMC gyp that wouldn't hunt but she was built very nicely but I was afraid to take her and breed her because everything I've ever been told says that bloodline is the most important factor. Would I have a good chance at some decent pups with only one parent being a hunting dog?
