Beginner hog hunter. What type of dogs? Advice needed.

you will likely get a different answer from every person that posts on this thread. No matter the breed or background, you will have culls....there's no way around it, granted some lines of dogs will produce more good pups than others but thats all irrelevant now. If I were in your shoes I would try to hunt with as many different groups and styles of hunters and dogs as you can, then sit back and decide what style of hunting fits you best (roading, casting, winding etc etc) then decided what it is you like best and what you like least in a hunting dog,once you have decided on what you want to start hunting then put in the time/work blood sweat and tears and prove that you are in it for the long haul and want good dogs, more times than not when someone with dogs dogs see's that you are dedicated and in it for the right reasons you will have dogs fall into your lap. Good luck and happy huntin, there's alot of good people on this site with YEARS and YEARS of experience and knowledge to bring to the table......then theres the guys that will act like they have years and years of experience that are still wet behind the ears and talk out their rears lol. Bottom line is take the time to really think out exactly what you want out of a dog and you will be way ahead of the game before you ever spend a buck on a pup.
