BALLANCE........ I Dont care for an early starting dog and I don't want to feed one for 2 years before he gets started good.  I want in a line of dogs is one that starts in a reasonable ammout of time.  Patients is a must when it comes to starting youg dogs and I don't like to get in a hurry.  Allot depends on the seasons summer heat can get in the way of starting a dog and so can deer season but I dont get too wound up about starting a dog at this age or that.  I want them to know the basics before a year old like leading, loading, calling in, confortable in the woods, what a hog is and respect a hog, how to go to a bark.  Most of the rest like hunting and baying should be instinct in my opinion and will develope or it won't.  I personally dont get in a hurry but also wont wait for 2 years.  After a year its time for me to really "start" a dog to put the pup on some hogs as much as humanly possible to get the best out of that dog.
