I guess I see buying a finished dog as kinda cheating. I think that you will have more of a bond and respect with a dog if you are the one who puts in the time and sweat to train it. Anyone can take a trained dog to the woods and catch a hog, but taking a pack of dogs that you raised and trained yourself to the woods to catch a hog is a life changing experience. Anything that you have to work for will make you appreciate it more. A little blood, sweat and tears are seeds for understanding and respect.
