The dog I started this family of dogs with was my once in a lifetime. He was MY dog. He wouldn’t even eat if somebody else fed him, be it a day or a week. That part I always figured was because of the way he started out in life. He took some pretty serious whoopins over messing with hogs, he was bred to be a cow dog. The next two people that had him either did absolutely nothing with him or had zero patience with him. When he figured out that I wanted him to be what he was born to be, a hog dog, there was no looking back. He would smile at me when I fed. If I went outside for anything other than feeding or to load dogs, he wasn’t going to get up. He would lay there all day and never say a word no matter what the other dogs did. He was smart enough to know when it was business time. The dogs that I am most attracted to in every litter seem to possess traits more similar to him. The dogs I have here now won’t hardly eat when someone else feeds and they won’t even hunt the same for Deputy Dawg if he takes them without me. Ava wouldn’t even come out to eat at all last week when I had a young man feed a couple days for me. Outlaw does that too and he won’t hardly get up unless it’s feeding time or hunting time. Other than that I have to call him in order for him to get up. I have a litter on the ground now and three or four of the pups I was drawn to right off the bat were the ones that were quiet and laid back. Nothing I did really made them pick their heads up even. I’m still drawn to those same pups.
