Bitch born May 2003. Sire born April 2005. !st litter from this cross was March 2006. Sold about 60 pups full bro+sis to this litter. Guaranteed !st 3 litters  to work and no problems. !st 2 litters went to middle OK as cowdogs or breeding stock. They buy whole litter maybe because price or breeding or looks. Last 2 years most went to hog hunters and those that followed up were satisfied. Every dog doesnt work cows or hunt hogs for everybody. But breedeing is there and price is cheap. The dogs are worth lot more. I want every buyer satisfied. I will replace pup or return money if required. But for a full guarantee on this class of dog i would need $500+ because thats whats others would ask you. If started , they ask $1500. I dont srart my dogs for sale because hog hunters buy the majority and I just work cows. They rather the dogs weren't started. And if I start the pups on cows, I have trouble selling them to hog hunters.  Buyers wanting cowdogs feel same way. They prefer the dogs have only been on cattle. Since I dont kno who wants what, I only work the dogs I want to keep or the ones not sold.I do hunt+trap hogs. But I havent ever used the dogs. I prefer they just hunt+work cows and if they are good I dont want them hurt. But I have seen the pups bay cows and hogs. And kill racoons, mice, rats, chickens, goats, peacocks, and house cats and rabbits. The bitch is best all around dog I've had. Not prettiest. Or best at anything. But always trying to please or protect me. She has had bad days. Like when pregnant or just after feeding. Sire is good looking, better bred, more show bloodlines, intelligent, more sociable, but not worked as much.
