Geronimo, you're exactly right. In the last few years everyone has decided the need to buy a "finished" dog. A lot of those same people couldn't get a good dog to hunt anyways because they have never took the time to learn anything about hog hunting or training a dog. A lot of these dogs may be good dogs that are looking at their new owner like an idiot cause they won't get off their 4 wheeler or quit yelling "get ahead". To me, he doesn't even sound like much of a crook. Just someone else that has learned how to legally capitalize off of stupid people. I know Claude's family and they've been hunting hogs with dogs way before a lot of those guys were born much less hog hunting. Not taking up for him but Claude knows more about dogs than the people trying to buy them.
A person who hasn't trained or rode a horse much doesn't need to go out and buy the most expensive horse and think they'll be able to ride like a pro in a couple of weeks. And I wouldn't go buy a motorcycle and think that in 2 weeks I'll be the next Evil Kenevil. These are dogs out of the same blood lines that have been around since our great gandpa's were doin' it. The only thing that has changed is the hunters.
Neches,
What is a man's word worth? Dog knowledge or not, if the guy gives a trial on his word, then he does not honor a trial, how can it be the fault of the buyer, or their lack of hunting knowledge? It amazes me that people don't put any value on a man's word anymore....
