EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I got a pit that is almost eight years old. I been thnkin bout retirein him but ii hate leavein him at home he has caught a many a hogs for me an can run his own track if id let him. He lost a tooth a few weeks back an th hog in this vvideo is th first one he has been on since then. I want some opinions on if i should keep lettin him go or if yall thnk its a good idea to go ahead an retire him.

I don't know. Looks Like he just hit to hard to me. Videos a lil blurred on my phone. I got one that is missing two canines. Catches just fine for me. If u don't wanna retire him then get another cd an let him in behind it. Take some of the pressure off the old man.

x2 on that, use him as a back up have a young one catch and use him incase the young one needs help

Let him go till he can't go anymore. Just like us we would want the same. I hate to see a dog wither up on a chain or kennel. You will know when its time.

x 2 I had a cd one time that had 2 k9 teeth gone and he did fine hunt him tell he can't go anymore jmo.

 thats what i would do .  i'd rather die  working or doing something else i enjoy a few years early  , than to spend one night in the nursing home !

Thanks fellas i agree bout goin till ya cant do it anymore. He loves fightin a hog. An i dnt want him to die bored in th kennel so ima let him jeep on rollin. Thanks

i got a big pit thats 11 or 12 years old, she hits as hard as any 2 year old pit. gonna hunt her till she cant hunt. she sulls up if you dont take her. i dont plan on retireing so why should they. jmo

My best dog is a 10 years old and on his own he'll still catch a hog. He don't listen like he used to but I figure if he made it that far let him go till he's gone. And out oldest arch dog is 8 and he's missin half his teeth and hes still hell on wheels

Would anyone be intrestes in a pup out of this dog ?

so all you guys are saying you want to die on your job ??? and miss out on a comforatable retirement . these dogs work for us and retirement doesn't meen being left in a kennel and forgotten about . there are plenty of things to do with a dog than hunt it . if they live long enough to get that old out of respect for a warrior they should be able to retire and live the good life . going on long walks and meeting a few ladies . and just enjoying life for a change . 7 or 8 years of catching is a long long time . and me personally if i was fond of the dog i would retire it and just take it out every now and then and maybe let it catch some of the esier hogs and just use as a backup .

maybe you should just ak the dog what he wants to do . :o
