sometimes a pup is well on his/her way to having breeding potential when they are 5-6 months old in my eyes...and by ten months theses pups are breed worthy...but after 3 generations out of good dogs that are line bred and even inbred I am willing to make my call on what I have seen from these type of pups and from the parents and grandparents past history as hog dogs...once I found the dogs I liked and started breeding my own I turned the females over pretty quick so that I could purify the bloodline because I didn't want to only have 3 generations in 20 years...I wanted 6 or 7 generations of great dogs so my dogs would produce as close to 100 percent hog dogs as possible...

With the dogs I have now I can say that I like them fairly well and 4 of the 5 are worth breeding but I really can't say what they will produce. I am thinking my 2 pups that are parker/mt cur crosses will produce pretty good with the mt cur gyp I have...but as far as how many good pups???I can't say for sure because of the parker blood is not familiar to me...but my gut feeling is that it will be a decent cross otherwise I wouldn't try it...the only early starters in my back yard right now are the 2 mt curs I have now...they are pretty good hunting dogs but they lack a little here and there but I am looking more at what I can not see that is in them than at them...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
