Culling ?

Let me qualify that I don’t claim to have best dogs in the world. They are somewhere between average and nice. They make me happy and we catch our share. I normally start pups between 10 and 14 months old. I normally start to appreciate them when they are somewhere between 3 and 4 years old. I hunt once or twice a week for roughly 40 weeks out of the year. I like silent, short to medium range, loose bay dogs that like to be in the woods, like to trail, like to find, and like to bay. Below is my cull decision making logic: Hope you find it helpful.
-
Are they screwing up hunts regularly by trashing, wandering up to houses, busting bays, falling out of races, or not packing with the other dogs and getting out of pocket for no good reason? They get 10 hunts to fix these issues. If they show progress, I’ll be patient. If not, they don’t get to hunt with us anymore.
-
If they aren’t screwing up but aren’t hunting either, they must go to the other dogs when they strike or bay every time. I won’t haul one that will not hunt or help. I’ll give em 10 hunts to figure this out. If they at least help and don’t screw up hunts, I’ll be patient. If not, they don’t hunt with us anymore.

If I come across a better prospect, they will replace the lowest performing dog. I have a good grasp on the type of dog I like. They must enjoy being in the woods and gettin after game. I can usually tell if they are gonna fit our program within a few hunts. It helps them a lot if they are allowed to run loose as pups and are raised on your place with the dogs they will hunt with.
