I have a dog that has taken quite a few cuts and has alot of scar tissue. He is kinda stiff some times. I was just wondering what the average age is for retirement of hog dogs.

Not really sure but when he can't keep up it's time to leave em on the porch and take them out once in a while for some exercise and that well needed 1 on 1 time, and they will still strike a hog.. Had some at 8 had some at 12 just depends on the dog.

I think that I all depends on the dog. For example, we have a loose baying 5 year old who is very spry and athletic and then we have a rough 3 year old who gets pretty stove up and achy after a hunt. We will probably retire the younger of the two first.

I got a BMC that will be 12 in April and he still gets it done. Go to entirelypets.com and order Joint Max Triple Strength Soft Chews and a bottle of Vita-tabs for senior dogs. My dog used to not want to get out the box after a hunt and this stuff made a great difference!
