Picking pups

Really good stuff guys. I'm in the process of bringing up some pups, but we're keeping all 12 among the 3 of us to see how they turn out. I have 5 pups at the house and have been studying them. I really learned a lot just letting them chase my free range chickens when I turned the out of the pen, and now I have identified the 2 dogs out of 5 that will beat the shrubs to death hunting for them and run them until they give out and catch them, they were around 2 month old when I did this and now are over 3 months old. Obviously, I had to stop this so they didn't kill my flock but I have a real good ideal regarding their drive.

I recently, cleaned some hogs and kept a head and used it to work them on a rope. It's funny the alpha male which is very aggressive and quick to jump on someone (food aggressive) was scared of it the calm male will latch on to it and stay there until I put him back in the pen. I do like the idea of using meat for winding. That's something I'm interested in trying. Good stuff here on this post.
