My Puppies...

thank you Larry...

Justin, I sometimes take my pups between 7-10 months on real hunts...but my guess is that older than 10 months is best so the pups can have more agility and endurance...not to mention their minds need a little more time to mature...I probably have ruined a few pups starting them too early...but my thoughts are that if a pup is weak minded he will quit with a bad incident and a good minded pup will get back up and bay defiantly in the hogs face...and I see that as a trait I would like passed on...

Since I got out of hog dogs in 2007 and tried getting back in around 2010 has been a long road till about now, mid 2016...so between now and then I went on invites and hunted the style others preferred...

as a result I did not have the opportunity to test and condition the pups as I like doing...but now that I have a pack of dogs that I like I went looking hard for a place and picked up a good one...once I get these four pups up and hunting I will look for one more good place...

These pups are chomping at the bit to get out in the big woods...my hunting will start in the first of May but will be starting a TA from mid May to Mid June...and I am willing to endure the heat to get my pups up where I can see what they can really do...I am excited about it...this place is 30 minutes from my house and 30 minutes from one of my sons house so it should be fun...

The pups will be 1 year old in May 10...so they are ready...
