If they take after their momma you will not have to worry about them goin huntin I think they will make some nice dogs good luck with them
Thank you Josh...I took them to the bay pen this morning and I turned them out...They rolled out about fifty yards and they took a hard right and went about 100 yards and then they split up and went into the thick palmettoes...one comes out in front of me and keeps on moving further ahead...I kept walking towards the bay pen and the pup that was running ahead turned towards the right past the bay pen and the wind is blowing his way from the pen...I was hoping he would wind the hog and go to him and bay...and that was exactly what he did...another pup shows up and I let him in on account I was on the opposite side from where that pup was baying...The pup I let in went and found the pig and went to baying as well...the other two pups show up and I let them in...and they go to baying as well...the original pup moves around to my side and I let him in...they did a heck of a job...they don't just run from behind they will head the pig off as well...I have a good feeling about all 4 pups...
The smaller of the 4 pups I have named TD for Tasmanian Devil because he can whip the other pups in the yard except in the dog pen where he can't maneuver and they can use their weight against him...he put some teeth on the hog to stop it so the name is sticking...it is now for sure...the other 3 pups I will name later...probably Smoke and Banjo...and maybe Hoss or Buck...
the pups are on track in making hog dogs...they are slightly over 5.5 months old...I am happy with their performance at this point in time...
