i might be considered fairly lazy . but but i just feed'em until they get old enough to haul , try 'em out several times and then i cull from there .
This is about what I do. To me I don’t want to beg a dog to do it’s job and I’m inclined to believe most things are hereditary. That said, if he don’t start easy or natural, I don’t want him or her bred, and I don’t wanna keep much that isn’t breed worthy.
I agree...my yard is too small to have a dog that needs lots of tracks to make a Hog dog...sometimes early in a breeding program we have to lower our standards or if we are short on dogs...but the dogs that have the breeding and the hunt that take to hunting like a duckling takes to water are the kind I like to keep...the naturals
However, I do invest some time in the pups...
