What I look for is a pup, as early as possible...., to show they ain't scared to trail one down.... I had Shiner and Chub out at 3.5 mnths working shoats. Let 'em bay a 50#er for a bit, then cross hobbled the bugger and let him roll out into some swamp bottom at night... Let each dog do this by itself once the hog got a good 500yds out. Shine trailed in and caught the shoat at around 1500yds out, Chub trailed in and came back after a few hundred yds....
Both today at 2yo are handy dogs, but the difference in hunt is still the same. I look for those dogs that, at a young age, ain't afraid to go off by themself and get after one.... but there's always the dog that turns on later than sooner.... so who really knows
