most people starting out have no problem finding pups at a reasonable price , but a good up and coming or seasoned bay\strike dog is hard to come by but that works the best , run the pup or pups behind the good one , training one at a time works best in the feild , pups together dont want to pay attention most of the time , dont just show them a hog in a pen , do mock hunts , drag the hog away from the pin and have them follow the sent trail , a little father each time , give them praise when they find it , after this you will be on your way ,[ patience ] puppys get board pretty fast , make it fun and dont burn them out ,try to lead them off while there still intrested in the hog , this will intensify there drive and make them want it more , good luck , just my 2 cents
Get pups outta proven lines, raise em up and find someone with older dogs to run em with once they are old enough to keep up.....i show mine a hog in a pen 2-4 times just to show em what i want em huntin then its a matter of waitin til they can keep up with the big dogs.
