My buddy had a bull dog that he used for catching and weight pulling. The dog was his baby,he loved that dog. When his daughter was around two the dog snapped at his daughter. Realizing the liability he did the right thing and gave the dog a 9mm relaxer. Some times being responsible isnt pretty.

I understand this and i do believe in culling but i just "GAVE" a guy that is just starting a 10 month old dog that is out of some jam up dogs but really wasnt impressing me, was i wrong in doing this? Should i have culled the dog instead of giving it away? Just would like to know what yall would have done?

Ten months old is too young to cull. It also depends on what kind of dog it is and what strain. When I was breeding mtn curs I expected certain traits and level of progression at 3 months 4 months up to 10 months. If they didn't meet that I culled because I was trying to breed better dogs and produce a higher percentage of good dogs per litter. I also knew that any extreme training to get the dog to perform would also be passed on to some of the pups so I tried to pick the naturals as often as I could. However, if I wanted a good hunting dog and didn't care about a breeding program I would wait at least until 14-16 months of age before culling and again the breed and size of the dog has something to do with maturity and progress. |

My opinion is if you choose to "Sell" just make sure it works. Everyone's expectations for a working dog are different. One man's cull is possibly anothers best dog. But what I am preaching about is don't roll Trash that you know aint gonna cut it. And definantly don't miss represent what you have to make up for your loss. Tell it like it is and people will respect you more for being honost and more than likely the dog will sell anyway due to that honesty. Cull the Trash and save everyone the headache from now on. What you did brother is 100% respectable. |

as far as young dogs... you must give them time to get comfortable... typically it is for me 6 mounths showing intrest and 1 yr getting serious(depending on his age when you get him)... if at that point i'm not happy and someboy wants him then they can take them... but i will not sell a dog that i dont like... a good reputation is hard to come by.. a bad reputation is easy...

This was my first post on ETHD and it worked out for the best a man came and bought both dogs and he loves them last I heard anyways.
The first one is around 4 I bought her as a finshed hog dog and that's exactly what she was FINISHED!!! As in done will not hunt at all will not go to bay will not do anything in the woods finished! In a bay pen she will get with it but I'm not trying to bay hogs that are already in a pen. The guy I got her from also said that she will blood trail I was doubtin that after I saw her in the woods hog hunting but a friend shot a deer and it ran 900yds from where he shot it and he looked for 4 1/2 hours before he called so it was a hard trail for the dog but she did find it. I payed $400 for her with a year guarantee. The only guarantee is the guy will not answer my phone calls! If someone wants her I will take what ever you will give me. She is very pretty dog she is a tri-color stands 19 inches. After gettin burnt a couple times on dogs I will guarantee I will shoot it to you straight! 325-642-3498 I hope with putting a honest post like this up it may encourage everyone that has a non hog dog to follow and stop gettin to the guys like myself that's trying to get into hog huntin and gettin fed a line of mess. I'm not talkin to everyone but everyone knows what I'm talkin about.

We all have to start some where but i think some people see a dog not go out 900 yards as a 8 month old pup and cull it. Well that is fine but if you are talking about some straight hounds they mature more slowly than others and some types of curs get with it earler than others. So when you are culling make sure you what you are dealing with. By all means if the dog is a yard dog do not pass it off as a hog dog.

I think a clarification needs to be made here. Culling a dog for dog-dog aggression or dog-human aggression vs. not performing. Aggression to any thing other than the desired game is not to be tolerated at all, period, end of story, cull that dog now! A dog that is not performing to standard should never be sold as something it is not, that is ethics. A non performer can make a pet for someone else, an aggressive dog cannot under any circumstances be placed in the hands of another person unless that person is doing your culling (pulling the trigger) for you.

no aggresive dog should be passed but a dog that is not performing to your standards might be to someone elses standards just be honest and let them know exactly what they are getting. i know some bmc's that aren't hunting dogs at all but are very good watchdogs

I got someone mad at me on another board for this very reason. If you don't have the b@lls to cull then don't breed dogs. Some dogs need to be culled and that may be getting them clipped and letting them hunt or be a pet. Some dogs may need to removed to protect the public. But if you breed then you have to make the call about what leaves your yard. If you don't want your name on it then don't let it go out.
