How long?

It has taken me the better part of almost 3 years to get a pack together that I can hunt and not be embarrassed of.I know that isnt very long at all but this dang hog huntin has consumed me.Been through a heap of dogs spent a pile of money but that's what it takes for the fast track of not being dependent on anyone else to go catch a pig.I had good luck buying grown dogs and raising pups up training with the grown dogs now my first pups are my lead dogs and there is definitely a feeling of accomplishment in that. If I can give any advice it would be to figure out the style of hunting that suits you and the places you hunt the best. I bought many dogs that were OK but didn't suit my style of hunting.I'm now in the second stage of the disease and trying to build my own breeding program so that my children and I can enjoy the sport in its entirety.
