Let me say up front, what you have described is not what I have planned out for MY kennels. NOW, I think all of the young guys out here who are really gung ho about hog dogs but are starting to get that itch for the next step need to take notice of what Noah has done.
This man knows what he wants and not only does he have a goal, but has clearly laid out that goal for himself to see. This is a major secret to success. In order to see if your gun shoots straight, pick a good target and keep shooting at it.
Kudos bro Noah
What T Bob said is true. Put all the names, breeds, and opinions of all others aside and breed for YOURSELF. As long as you do this, have a goal in mind, cull hard, and feed dogs hog tracks from day one, then you'll have a program to be proud of. People get caught up on the hype to much, I've done alot of research on alot of breeds, lines, and single dogs out there and haven't even began to scratch the surface. It's hard finding a good dog. I feel your pain Noah. People think I'm dumb, but I spend alot of time on the phone, reading old threads, and analyzing specific dogs. Everybody has different goals, what makes a program is sticking to them goals.
I hope you find a dog, and I'd like to see the animal that you choose when you make your choice.
