Started hog dogs or finished hog dogs?

I agree with mike, however ill add this. Find some folks to go hunting with first. Everyone has their own "style" of hunting. I hunt short ranged rough cur dogs, they wont go ten miles lookin for pork and very rarely bay. They find and catch hogs and this style suits me, it may not you. Youll meet some nice folks in this sport and ive given dogs to boys I liked when they were startin out. That's also how I got the two best dogs ive ever owned and they were finished. Put the time and effort in and folks will help you get started usually.
