ya genetics can give drive and nose and bottom and hunt but there is no such thing as a totally untrained dog... a hog dog is more than just runnin a mile and bayin a hog... what about the smaller stuff that makes it a truely exceptional dog? the stuff that the genetics didnt put in...exposure and opportunity are just more steps to training a hog dog, i see now how yall describe (no training) if you dont consider any of the training actual training... i got it now im no longer confused
What are some things you have trained a dog to do that genetics didn't allow for?
Another Question to you and rest of the training crowd? After you start with good genetics, then "train" a dog to hunt, bay, etc. and the dog ends up being a cull, what do you most often attribute this to? Did you just not train it well enough?
