I tried alot off here got trials with all and carried most back. Finally did find a good one off here but it did take a long time for the dog to trust and start hunting well for me. I thnk alot of ppl have gone thru this and i really do believe u have to put alot of time in with your dogs and they have to trust you to do well. I do believe that is the main reason why its hard to sell dogs for honest ppl. The dog is not going to just go hunt for you like it did for someone that has put the time in with the dog. Best way is to go hunt with them and if you like the dog then start putn the time in with the dog and just be patient. My lead dog took about 2 yrs to trust me good and she has really turned it on lately. Other than that train your own dogs from puppies there are way too many peddlers out there. And oh yeh i did git screwed out of 300 one time from a guy in south texas. He signed an agreement and all but changed his phone number and all his info was a lie. That was learning the hard way for me so never again will i pay for a "hog dog" but that just me and my experience. Im sure ppl have had good trades and some dogs may hunt the same for someone else right off the bat but ive never had the pleasure of buying one like that. Most of the ones i tried off this site were better deer dogs than most of the walkers i have hunted with:P
. I am very stubborn and hardheaded tho so i did learn the hardway. The best advice i can give if a person must buy a dog from someone off here is to go hunt with them and see how the dogs works. Screw a trial or anyones word you do not know! Anyways thats jmo
