Getting into catch dogs I wanted a lot from my dogs. I was used to my dogs catching at 6 months old or 8 months and THEN I let them grow up from there and develop. Showing them a hog once a month in different situations. Well to start with I had one male from a pup that came from Gary, Half Hammonds/heinzl/sunson. I had him almost 2 years before he stopped working hogs like I wanted and was trying to out think everything. Very strange dog. Spooky spooky dog. His other 2 sisters would quit a hog and were very spooky. I didn't keep them as long as their older brother. 1 different female was an ugly hot mess with an awful personality... Spooky, skittish and scared of everything. 1 older female would catch a hog but had no mouth to hold one. Killed her male pups when they were 3 weeks old. Luckily I got the females away from her and finished raising them, I have 2 now and I like them a lot. This older female was an unpredictable man bitter also. I sent her back after I raised pups since she wasn't mine to cull. 1 older female was very ugly and a cur. 4 years old - caught a 30lb pig - quit an 80lber. Sent her back as she wasn't mine to cull. Well bred and she has potential to produce better... I've eased up on what I require from my dogs but if I am to keep a "well bred" dog of ANY bloodline I want to like at least a few things about them. Personality is #1 and a good conformation is #2 ... If I have to settle for Brood stock type dogs! Everything I produce off of those "brood stock" dogs will be culled harder than say pups off of 2 proven dogs. My program, my business for anyone with a rotten attitude. Your not feeding these dogs, I am.
