What do you expect out of your dogs?

Might as well finish this while am at it.

Like a fast quick dog a slow dog is worthless.

I dogs that can wind and work a track both. Some are better at one than the other. I have seen wind dogs that can be a track dog to the hog and I have seen great track dogs that will beat a wind dog to the hog . Long as they are good at what they dog.

I like a dog that will finish what he started but that is not always possiable with the land being so short these days so I can make a exception to that rule with my dogs lets be real whos got 25,000 acres to hunt these days.

Smart dogs a dumb dog is useless I dont care how good he can wind are track .

I like dogs that will put teeth on hogs when need be if he breaks his nuts are mine kinda dogs and do what it takes to try and get them stopped but again lets be real none of us get all the hogs we get on . If a 300 lb boar wants to run he is gonna run dont give a damn what kind of dog you got on him. I like my dogs to be in the middle with grit . To much and the hog is gone to little and the hog is gone so lets meet in the middle.

Wind , Stamaina is a must got to have it with out it your dog is useless all goes back to breeding if you do it right .

And the number one thing HEART with out the heart a dog can have all the above but is about as useless as tits on a boar hog ! The bigger the heart the better the dog and without it breeding is useless.

Am sure I can think of more but if I can get these things out of my dogs am a happy man ! No less than the parents are the dog is a cull in my yard also if you get ten pups and only five turn out as good as the parents and the rest are culls this is not a good liter to me . You need atleast seven are eight to turn out to be as good are better than the parents then you are headed in the right direction if you breed less you will get less is all it boils down to. Sorry for all the long stuff here but a big question with big anwsers .
