Skoal i took my pups out Sunday afternoon, using the old string trick. Truned the pig loose and gave him about 10 minutes, and let the pups loose. Two of the pups ran right over the track just happy to be out, but JoJo (Bear and Ellie's pup) put his nose on the ground and run the track. The other two pups ran in after him. In a few minutes i heard a couple of barks then pig gruntin. Apparantly the pig only made it bout 200 yards before he hung up. So i let em work for a few then caught the pig and took the string off. This time i gave him about 20 minutes, enough time to let the dogs settle down. Turned em loose again and same thing JoJo had his nose to the ground. I watched him work that track about 15-20 minutes. He would work it and then lose it, come back to where i let the pig go and work it again. I finally decieded to let Hoss go and help. I let him go and then I heard JoJo ring out while i could still see Hoss, and the bay was on. The other pups did bay good, the gritty one even back up and bayed a little bit.
sorry phone pics ain't the best
