The Link is Back Up , After Some Editing !!
This was the 3rd time in the bay pen for all the dogs, and the 1st time I ran them together, as a group. This is the entire litter, whenever you have 2 parents like I had for these dogs you don’t let them get too far outside your circle, if you do at all.
The pups with collars, well they passed school on the 1st try in the pen, what you see is how they acted at 6 months old, only they're more gritty 2 more times in the pen. The last time I caught that domestic hog by hand and let them taste.
The other 3 were late bloomers, not the instant intensity and "Hate for a Hog" that I look for in my stock. With a small amount of time they have come along nicely with age and 4 more months of patience.
Most would have culled them after seeing the 2 collared dogs work as opposed to the work ethic of the other 3, but as I was told by a dear friend of mine, DP "Ya gotta let 'em age, just like a fine wine, give 'em time, not all dogs are the same". I'll never forget those words and have turned out some darn good dogs by being patient and trying to see the world through my dogs eyes.
FYI, I give most dogs 24 months to prove themselves before we fix them and give them away as pets.
