my biggest regret...was selling a line of dogs I created that were as hard hunting as any...accurate strike dogs that did not quit a track...dogs with plenty of grit and some that would hunt and die of heat stroke if not caught or called in...dogs that started out close and if I wasn't moving would range further out until they found a hog...there were times when I sent my dogs in after others just came out with their dogs that said there weren't any hogs in the area...decent dogs seldom miss...
after creating that line of dogs I let it all go in 2007...and I don't have that caliber of dog today...fair but not the same...
a great hunting dog is a dog that looks good in any company and has the genetic make-up to reproduce itself when bred within the family...
letting it go is my regret...
Reuben I'm pretty sure you'll take this as me jabbing at you but it's not and if you feel that way then my apologies upfront, but I have to ask, what happened to this line you created and sold out, I know you've mentioned before that there wasn't but a few years gap in between you selling out and deciding you still wanted to hunt, did they all get killed or die off or the person you sold them to didn't breed them, I'm not trying to pick or pry just asking a sincere legitimate question...
