NOBODY raises a 100% top notch dogs or performance animals. We all know you can breed a super star to a super star and get culls. There are a ton of variables that have to line up in order it to be successful and we have to do our part to increase the odds. I also realize that I probably take this way more seriously than the average Joe. That’s my nature. I only know one way to play a game and that’s to try and dominate. I want my dogs to be the best they can be so that they beat Mr Hog consistently more than he beats them. This means I have to meet my obligations to my dogs in care, rides to the woods, and knowing what my objectives are as well as understanding the ins and outs of genetics (for the most part). I’m not a dr or scientist, but I do read and study. I’ve always taught my kids that if you pay attention to anyone or anything that is great at something, you will find out that that individual likely has a passion for whatever it is they are great at. They pour everything they can into it because they want to and get pleasure from it. It’s no different with these dogs. A dog that lives to hunt, find, bay, and catch hogs will be a better hog dog than most that have way more tools but less desire. A doctor that is passionate about healing and helping people will do way more good than the one that just wants guess and Guinea pig you so they can hurry up and get your dolllar. When you start breeding dogs that want to back to like minded dogs you start getting purpose bred animals. When that gene pool
is tight and your being selective, it speeds the process up. My two cents!
