I just had about 10 1/2 pit, 1/4 dogo. 1/4 cur puppies. Thats about 10 too many. They will all be wormed but no shots. The dame is 1/2 dogo 1/2 cur. There are two different sires, one is a black Bordeaux and the other is a merle colored. Free to anyone who wants one. Located in Cedar Lane, TX. I live in Clute so can meet anywhere around those areas. will be posting in the dog section in about a week. Anyone interested? What does everyone else do with unplanned litters? cull? give them away?

funny guess we got a pair of hussey's..lol...the dam to these pups is the litter mate sister to my gyp that had an unplanned litter. i ended up giving all of mine away to young hunters. every one of the pups' owners love them. they say they take to simply obedience training real well and are already taking drags and lining them out....i'll take either that red/white pup or that merle pup...only thing is i don't have a place to keep him..lol..the wife will kill me if i bring another dog to the house....we are going to have to get together before summer is out for another hunt...

I had an unplanned litter out of some decent dogs. They never made it to the dog trade.

Duece24 they're here when you're ready. we do need to get together. I haven't been in a while and there is quite a bit of sign all around.

Circle C- I considered the same thing. but I figured someone out there may want one. i wonder If I'm doing more harm than good?

Don't think I am judging anyone by my statement. Just what I chose to do. I have a much different opinion of the dogs and culling than I used to.  Heck, used to be if I had a dog that wasn't working out I gave them to a dog jockey/trainer. I guess it was easier on my conscience.... Some of them might have turned into dogs, others would not leave my yard today. If they did leave, I would have them fixed beforehand.

Someone might be able to use them!! But if I had a mistake litter they would never make it that far!!

But puppies are cute and playful it is hard to do!! Someone has to do it!!

I understand not selling them but to cull a whole litter just because u didn't plan isn't right. I mean if u give them away to hunting homes some of those may be great dogs. Better yet some of those pups can be given away to pet homes. An unplanned litter isn't a bad thing long as you let the people know the truth behind the litter.

They are some interesting little fellas but Circle C and Cward have an awesome point in my eyes dogs are insanely over populated an the world should get rid of the non performers an keep the pure bred hog dogs an coondogs ect. well fed an hunted hard but ... where i come from i wasn't allowed to own a dog if i didn't plan on huntin it my daddy wouldn't have fed a yard dog but he would sure have feed a huntin dog any day

Deuce,

  On the same level that culling an,unwanted litter may not be right.....allowing an unwanted litter to occur in the first place is not right either.   I made a mistake in hunting a dog that I thought was out of heat, found out I was wrong .  I took care of my mistake. Right or wrong it is how I handle my business.

I see it this way if both dogs are good and the parents are good then make the best of the situation rather it is cull or give away but if it is a dog that u don't want to ever breed then have them fixed b4 the accident happens.  Fixed dogs hunt too I have one and a buddy has one males then another buddy has a cat female that is fixed and she is durn near all catch.  Also they don't eat as much which is nice when they are fixed

Purebreedcolt, you make a good point about hunting fixed dogs .  I have three fixed ones now.  I also have an intact female that will be bred when the right male comes along. If I screwed up and allowed her to tie up with the wrong male on accident  I would cull that litter too. I take  every precaution I can now, dog in heat goes into a concrete, priefert kennel with a roof. Once she has a litter with the right male and those pups work out, she too will be fixed.

Interesting thread and like so many others, there is no right answer for everyone, its just personal preference

My biggest problem with an unplanned litter is my gyp can't hunt. But if I cull fast then she can hunt sooner. But it would be would I breed her at all? Would I breed the male? Would I breed them together? If it yes to all of them I would suck it up. But I aint wasting time on a worthless liter of potlickers. I also keep my gyps in my yard so I can watch them!

To me the answer is in the title UNPLANNED LITTER. It is hard enough to raise good dogs and keep them with planned breedings. The cities and the back roads are full of unplanned breedings.IMO the whole litter are culls. And as far as running fixed dogs I feel it is the best thing sence puting pockets on a shirt.

To me there's a difference in unplanned and unwanted.  I have had a couple of litters of unplanned, but they werent unwanted.  If you have two curs that breed and the litter is unwanted you need to cull your curs IMO.  What im trying to say is why own a dog that you wouldn't consider good enough to breed?  Haha, i just thought of something...If you wouldn't breed it, dont feed it.   Grin
