There is lot of scamer out there just be wise with your wallet and don't let your ears lie to your eyes
I tell everyone starting out to get a couple of finished dogs and save yourself a lot of time and headaches. Then you can add to your pack as you go. Just be sure to have an experienced person with you when buying the dogs... always see them hunt first!!!
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.
Agree100% with these guys
Do exactly what these men say bout buying dogs, and do it to the letter or ur wallet could be empty n ur dog junk.
