The Dog Trade is filled with people that are looking to buy good strike dogs...
You guys that say you can TRAIN any dog to be a hog dog should be making a killing right now!!!
Just wondering, are you saying that somebody could not go thru about 5 large dog pounds and get about 10 or 15 tryees and build a hog dog pack and strike or bay and catch hogs???
I have never seen anybody here or anywhere claim they can train ANY dog to be a hog dog either??? Not all dogs make strike dogs either in the scene they are in either, lots of guys lose the start dog and wont move somebody up to take up the striking position, they let the main start dog do all of the starting and never switched the batting order so to speak so other dogs had chances to start strikinglol
Or are you saying nobody could go thru the lower end of the dog trade classifieds and buy or get free dogs and get a pack going out of cast offs or need to get rid of's?
I have known lots of guys who did exacty this, any dog that looked like it might run a hog or somebody claimed it would get loaded up and taken to a hog pen or sometimes even loaded up in dog box and turned out to see if it would honor a bay or even catch or start running with the pack after a while.
But you seem to imply that every dog for sale on hereis a cull or untrainable and cant ever be trained??
The problems vary with dogs in the dog trade, some rotteed on chain, some starved, some just nobody knows, some were shocked out, some where hunted by drunks who left them in the woods, some have been yelled at, some have been beaten, some were just surplus, some were out of room when somebody got divorced, laid off, drought hit etc etc and on and on, some owned by idiots just in general, dont forget the other biggie, the lack of hogs or places to hunt, and then u might actually run into somebody who likes to just get dogs going a bit and sell them for money, aka the dog traderlol God bless the cliche' dog trainer who can train a dog most of the time but not all of the time and laugh all the way to the banklol Dont forget to visit your local dog trader regularly, you might get to buy your own dog back that can now strike a hoglol
