I'll echo the two folks above me.  I'm into hog hunting with dogs about two years, now.  Started out with one Dogo pup then added a couple of cur puppies.  Two years later; the jury is still out on the Dogo.  He is getting better every trip, though.  One cur (BMC) didn't work out.  The other was going gangbusters 'til she died in an accident.

Ended up buying two BMC's one finished, one well started.  Found a pit rescue that was around a year old and took to it like she's been doing it her whole life. And still got the Dogo.

It has also taken me some time to find places to hunt, of my own.

If I was starting again and knew what I know now, I would have hunted with as many folks as possible to see different ways of hunting and different types of dogs.  I would have then bought dogs that were finished or well started and hunted the style I want to.  Throw them in with friends packs, while I found places of my own.  I'd be where I am today but would have spent a lot less money and headaches.
