Heck, I'm sick as a dog, just put in a twelve hour day and starting sippin NyQuil a minute ago, so what the hey, I'll chime in...
I don't mean this at all rudley.
If a line of dogs has so routinely gotten themselves killed by hogs after a season or two of hard hunting, then they have in fact "proven" themselves. They have proven that if that's the kind of dog that you enjoy and their getting the job done for you, then you'd better breed them early becuase they do not hold up to hard use over the long haul.
It just is what it is. I didn't say its a bad thing or a sin of some sort, just is what it is, if it suites the fella feeding them, then fine.
I say that because a lot of the slightly older crowd is set in their ways and it does no good to argue, but for young skulls full of mush who are reading all this, I'd just like you to consider;
Are you okay with a high turnover rate? If so, it's nobodies business but your own. I personally like dogs that are not only very talented, but also stand the test of time and can be used hard for years to come, but who cares what I like? Nobody really except me.
My pawpaw used to say if everybody liked the same thing as him, my grandma would never be able to get out of bed...
Catch my drift youngns?
