I have seen pups that tend to like hog naturally just like a bird dog pup that naturally likes a bird.
I also have seen pups that are totally broke off of off game because they are late starters are do not have any hunt in them.

I will take a trashy pup any day and if it runs a deer for an hour on a dark moonless night all by itself thru thick and thin.... Well I'll take that trashy no good for nothing pup off your hands and dispose of it for you...

I like a pup with a lot of natural hunt. Trashing is expected from one of these and breaking off of off games starts early but has to be done right and the pup must already be working hogs, and the pup must know that you want hogs before the breaking starts.
