good posts here guys! i too have been dooped a time or two in the begining. i chalk it up to being somewhat nieve at the time. i got into this sport on my own and really had no clue what i was getting into when i started. its now been 10 years since i was given my first hog dog and ill say this........out of all the dogs i have owned, the ones that were given to me turned out to be dogs that i would have never sold....ever...and then there are the ones that i paid good money for that shoulda been culled long before i got them. it seems the art of culling has ceased to exsist. guys will sell off anything for a quick buck. i have never sold a single dog. the ones that i bought that didnt work out arent around. there arent many hog doggers in my area and the last thing i would want is to get a rep for pawning off number 2ty dogs to unsuspecting newbies. i would much rather have a rep for having great dogs that people want but cant get. kinda like ''man i wish he would sell me one or two of those dogs '' , instead of '' that guy is a dog trader with a yard full of culls''.
