Progression Of My Pups

not much to report...I cut out the "hidden in the yard" chunks of liver because they were pretty good at it. The black male is my favorite because he is built the best and has a good coat and disposition...he has a good nose and was second best at finding and locating...probably because of his speed, nose and brain power...The black female (the runt) is the fastest and has a good nose as well. She makes it all look easy...

I ran a few drags for them starting at 10 weeks and they didn't click...tried it 4 or 5 days in a row and no go...At 4 month of age (last week) I ran a drag and then turned them loose...The black female ran the track several times but couldn't locate...the black male did almost as good...

I have been pretty busy with my work but they are ready for a pig in the bay pen...My work will free up the first week in November so I will get a pig then for the bay pen...These pups have been wanting to bay something for several months now...They have been snacking on a few pig heads here and there so they know the smell...

One of the brindle pups has a ton of heart. He is not the biggest nor the strongest but he is top dog by sheer determination...I had a dog like that before when it came to who was top dog or who could run the longest and the hardest it was him...this brindle pup reminds me of him...

Sometime soon I will take them out and find out if any have that natural desire to go hunt in the woods...

I am always on the look out for natural ability...
