Good points everyone
Picking a pup is difficult to say the least. I haven't had to picked a pup that wasn't from my yard sense 1999, so that has allowed me to really spend a lot of time choosing. I have picked up a few young dogs, but no pups. I like a pup that gets into everything, very independent, and will bay anything, even their own shadow. I also like laid back not hyper. I have had good luck but not as much as I would like. The two 7 mo old pups I have now I am questing, the next couple of months will tell the tell. They are going to have the baying style I like, I am questing the hunt! That is to blame on myself, I did this breeding on selection of baying style, and just hoping the hunt gene would still be there. Big gamble time will tell if I hit jackpot or I wasted time on raising a litter of culls. I am a strong believer of best to best within a line! But this breeding I stayed within the line but used two dogs with the best baying style hoping they would maintain a decent amount of hunt, trying to stop the hogs from running when possible. If they work out I can go back to their half brother & sister and maintain the hunt and capitalize on baying style! If not, oh well I tried my loss! Trying to capitalize on the stick dog instincts was the reason for the breeding.
