Get a dog in you pack such as that and he makes your buddies dogs look like crap. They stop coming out with you to hunt because the entire hunt is centered around that dog, your buddies dogs are on the back of the buggy and your trying to get those dogs close enough to the one dog that can't get his hog shut down but here and there. Your buddy gets tired of his dogs becoming help dogs and also gets tired of staying out so late and putting in so much effort for 1 pig or to retrieve 1 dog.
Other things I've seen happen that a dog like this wrecks is a time limite on the hunt. Wife wants to go hunting but has to be back at the truck by such and such time cause the young kids get off the school bus at 4:30 and no one is home yet. Only way you can get your dog is to get the catch dogs to him and catch the pig then dive in to catch the dog before he goes for another. Really perturbs the wife lol. Sometimes it works out and sometimes you got to walk the catch dogs back out, go home, drop the wife off and go back. Them kinda dogs really make life interesting and are very fun to hunt behind for some and not so much for other people.
if hes tired of hauling his number 2 around in the back of a buggy because they didnt get in on the first turn out or didnt stay in the race he needs to get a gun and start culling is all i can say i have had some dogs when i first started hunting that got hauled around alot while others wasw in the race it didnt take me long to figure out what a 22 was made for . i dont care if anyone wants to hunt with me or not i just assume go by myself anyway most of the time.if i have a time limit i wont go or ill take some young dogs and make it back in time. my wife has learned its probably best f she just stay at hime unless she wants to be gone all day anyway so thats no trouble for me. i cant come up with any reason for keeping any kind of dog that dont have alot of hunt.
