I wish I had a dog that could stop every hog I put him on!!!

Texashogdogs...back when I had my dogs how I wanted...and... let's say all my females I kept died and all I had was a runt female pup left and let's say she was a cull...number 1 I would not hunt her because now she is the most valuable dog I have in my yard and I sure wouldn't go by me a bitch from another line of dogs because even though that runt won't be proven I know her background...nothing but the best for 4-6 generations...I did say I turned the females very quickly to purify my bloodline...but they were all excellent dogs in my eyes...I looked for and selected for natural ability as much as possible...I never waited for a dog to show me something at 2 or 3 years of age...and I never put a dog in the woods 5 days a week in the woods to see if that switch would trip...because doing all that to get a hog dog just means that that is what we are breeding for...didn't want it and won't ever breed that way...I always bred for natural early starters and the majority of the pups will be doing great at 10 months and some at 6 months months will be rolling out...
I don't live in the country but I have had 10 dogs in my back yard and I will never do that again...but everything I had was proven and that included 3 or 4 six month old pups that were well on there way to making what I wanted...
