My son, wateverworks, lost his best dog almost three weeks ago.  His hunting buddy has two young dogs and my son has two young dogs, all four were relying on old Buster.  When my son couldn't find a dog close enough to home to afford to go buy he finally started doing what I told him to do, keep hunting the young dogs, they will figure it out.  Since then they have been on three hogs, the first two didn't get held long enough for the cds to get there, but yesterday morning they did, the result was a 250+ lb good boar.  The boys are excited that the young dogs finally got it together, heck one is onlly about 8 months, but my boy said he is really getting out and hunting.  Yes, if you are going to do this type of hunting you will need to be bringing up young dogs and at some point you need to make them hunt, your choice either before or after you best dog gets to doggy heaven.
