Well got the results from the vet today and it is Lymphoma. Tough deal man. Lost my #1 dog a 10 yr old gyp 3 weeks ago to a bad boar hog and now it seems to be the end of the road for my #2 dog.
Bright side is I bred him and the gyp that just got killed and I've got 4 of their pups starting up right now. Hopefully they can turn out to be decent dogs for me.
Tough month for sure.

Had a hunting partners main dog, great dog, die of it a couple years ago. He was quite a bit older. Was a quick progression. Nodes in neck was size of lemons, maybe satsumas. Though deal...
Obie is that Stan your talking about? I heard cancer got him. Cody told me that the dam to Tonto was in bad shape, thats a shame man. I'm keeping my fingers crossed about my male dog but i dont look to good.

Anyone had any dealings with a dog that had lymphoma? I got a male dog that's 5 yrs old and all of a sudden his lymph nodes all over his body swoll up real bad. Brought him to the vet and they said they are pretty sure it's lymphoma but took a sample and I'm waiting on the results.

A big pen that's stocked with some hogs. Sounds like something you could maybe make some money off of during deer season when people lose most of the land they hunt. Just drop them for an hour or so where you know there are hogs and just keep them in the game. But I could see where it could hurt a dog. Being in a pen like that too much, I could see a dog passing up colder tracks in the woods just to look for one hot track
My main use would be to get a good start on young dogs.

There's a place out where I am that traps hogs and puts them in a 5 acre pen, then you can pay an hourly rate and take your dogs and hunt it. That type of stuff isn't for me, I'd rather take them to the woods. Might take longer but the results are far better in my opinion. Like cracker said, paying someone to take my dog for months to be trained takes away the biggest aspect of this sport that I love. I worry about outside training being as effective when its not done by who the dog sees as their "master". I also think that trust and understanding is built between you and your dog when its trained by you, over time things like that are needed for those hairy situations out hunting. Just my opinion.
I would be open to that as well. Come run your dog for a few hours for a couple bucks. I don't see the difference in starting a puppy in a good sized woods pen vs a block of woods that isn't fenced. I find you have more control to while training than you do trying to train while hunting.

Slim, I do the same thing with a 25 acre pen. Most of the hogdog pups I get in is either deer season or turkey season when people cannot run. I do get a lot of bear dog pups in to get started if they are to young to run on bear during season.
Do you get a fair amount of people sending you dogs? I use it for my dogs but was wondering if enough people were interested maybe I'll take other peoples dogs and start them.

only advice I can give you is what an old man told me , '' when a pen will hold water it's ready to put the hogs in it '' lol but really a good strong wire like the no climb horse wire is a good one to use five foot high will keep most hogs in and as far as rooting out I've never had much trouble with it do to most times they root at the fence and push dirt up to it and bury it at the bottom . and remember a happy hog doesn't want to leave to begin with plenty of shade , feed and clean water and if they should happen to get out they'll all ways come back .
Halfbreed, regarding the water, do you think wild hogs would drink from a livestock nipple if set up in there?
