Personally.... I couldn't do it. There is something about raising a pup from day 1 and seeing it make a hog dog. Every time I buy a dog/older pup or someone gives me a dog/older pup it ends up going back down the road for reasons unknown, I guess I just don't make that "bond" with a dog unless I have raised it from the start.
So I guess what i'm saying is that I couldn't make a hog dog out of one that was 8 months old, just for the lack of caring for them.
a lot of times these older pups/dogs are someone else's culls.
