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.
seems the ones to criticize are the last ones to offer help. I have a 5month old pup from Cscott that he gave me, he ran his own hog last night for a good while after I turned him in to a bay that broke. The dog who bayed that sounder by herself also came from Chris. I've got a couple pups coming my way soon from some dogs that I think are good. One of them from Chris who I think is still planning on breeding a good male of his to a young gyp I really really like. And there's one or 2 others from other friends I've made with good dogs that will all be best to best (or good to good) breedings. All these guys though have been nothing but help from the beginning, once they got to know me they've criticized me, but it was after they knew me well and it wasn't an ignorant rant through a computer screen.
