Yeah he has already picked out the bob tailed black and tan male and a red female, hes not happy we aren't keeping any (though that black and tan bobtailed is the closest

). My plan was to make this breeding next year to keep one or two for him so when he gets older I will have good blood to breed if I want back in.
If I were in your shoes I would look at the pups closely...and if one stood out I would keep it for a good while and if the pup turns out above average then I would keep it...
nice looking pups...the sire is a good looking hog dog for sure...
