I know a few good dog men myself and they are very good at what they do"I wish I had that much time and patience".
Again most will not spend that much time with a dog unless they know it has enough will to hunt in them such as Genetics.
Most good dog men have their own line they have been working with for yrs and their dad's probably ran the same line for yrs before that.
Teaching a dog to load,sit,lead,etc... are very nice extras in the woods but it does not make a great hog dog in my eyes.
Some of the best I've ever hunted behind belonged to other people I could not even put my hands on them,But they were super stars when you turned them out.
Im the 1st to get in someones azz and I will apoligize if Ive pissed anyone off kinda my lifestyle
