Prospects

well Im pretty new at this too, but I did breed deer dogs for years, without much experience, I did read many books. the reason I started breeding is because I was always last or close to it on the puppy list and was not getting the type of dogs I wanted, so I started buying females from good lines and then I would pay a stud fee and breed my best females to successful breeders best males, and started having excellent dogs, compared to what was available to buy as pups.
Now I can see hog dogs the same way, if you dont have access to good pups or can be of the first few picks of a litter. And a young man cant afford to keep buying pups. that said, there has got to be many guys on here that have a litter every now and then of excellent proven dogs that would give slim a pup for free or cheap, maybe anyone whos willing to criticize him might have a lead on where he can acquire a proper pup.
In california it is way more difficult to find a decent line of dogs, as there are not that many hog doggers, I would think in Texas it would not be difficult.
I will never buy another pup again, the ones Ive bought do not compare to the ones given to me.
