Well its a lot easier if you been breeding your own dogs for some years.  I run from 4 to 5 dogs on the ground because I just like dogs .  Also because I like to get my young dogs going and experience they need.  There is not a grown dog on this yard that cant find its own hog.  There is  a pecking order here which then again there is no pecking order because at one time are another each of them will find the hog first  .  It goes from Horn to Whitey to Ole Blue to Bell to Hannah to Horns young son and now the Cracker Partin Fla cur and so on they all work they all hunt they all help each other and you take one out of the bunch and they are missed till they can get back in action just the way my pack works .
Over time I have kept what I wanted and sold the rest to good people simply because I cannot hunt them all .  Whats funny about the deal is I can have a young dog here and he 18 months to  two years old and been running with this pack he finds hogs here and there and he has learned his ways from these and some even shares their blood but when he is sold he becomes a really really good dog and people call back and ask how can you sell dogs like that well because I got dogs like that .  The thing is while he was here he was in a pecking order when he leaves out to another yard he makes his own pecking order but here he is under a chain of command here .  Anyway I like four five dogs on the ground and after years of breeding them I don't keep dogs that don't find their on hogs are show high ability to do so  ,  so are these dogs really help dogs I don't think so they are just dogs brought up on the yard with great dogs and they learn from them so when they are able to go to a new owner they are ready to start their on pecking order.

Just a plain on help dog that wont hunt no I don't keep them and I have been guilty of calling them bona fide culls but for somethat have not bred their on dogs for some years and are less fortunate are just young and starting out the help dogs have their place in a pack of dogs but here they would not make it not the kind that wont get out and hunt and have the ability to find their own hog .

One thing about it folks they dogs you keep only have to please you and everybody else can kiss the dark side of the moon .
