Progression Of My Pups

thanks everyone...I was surprised that all the pups came out looking and acting right...I say this because of the different breeds involved...but I wanted to bring in a different breed to the mtn cur and then breed these back to mtn cur...eventually they will be having 7/8th mtn cur but selecting carefully so that hopefully I will retain some of the good qualities from the Parker cur...

I just gave up the pick pup to the stud owner and he picked one of my 3 top picks at this point...Also gave a female to a good friend and the other is going to Beeville to another good friend...we are in agreement as to who they will be bred if she turns out as a top hog dog...

so that will leave me 4 and I am to trade a male for a female pup that will have about 1/2 of the blood from my old line of dogs...so I am happy about that...

they yellow dog in the back ground in one of the pics is the Kemmer female and she is a decent hog dog is about it...she has lots of grit and a great winding nose...

PigRig...I don't put much time on the pups...mostly shortcuts and tricks...a few minutes here and there...but I like swiiting in the back yard and watching them play and explore...just looking for any tell tell signs that will help me in learning how a pup will be when he gets a little older...

back when I quit the dogs towards the end I was getting 100% hog dogs from a litter...but I line bred and inbred...and I tested all pups and only bred the very best...especially focused on the early starters and those that had the ability to find a pig pretty quick and to not have any quit in them...been back in it since 2010 and struck out a few times...but I think I am off to a good start with these pups...also getting a 10 month old male that has quite a bit of my old line in his background on top and bottom...very good pup but is very gritty and is a little on the small side...his sister is burning down the woods so I know it is in them...

I believe there is one pup that will be sold and he has been reserved from a few months back...

Justin...waiting a few weeks to test the ability to take a liver track...then I will test for winding and finding...also will test for natural ranging...and then try the bay pen a few times to see which one or ones take naturally to hogs...I like to breed dogs that are natural to what I test for...many folks don't believe in this but I am a firm believer....
