What is a good dog? Every answer is going to be differant. This age old question will never be answered.

Sorry.

Richard E- Want s dog to hunt 800yards min and stay on a hog till the end.
When that dogs stops the hog he/she must bay and not get too gritty.

I want a dog to hunt 400-500 MAX and back up and bay when they stop the hog. Richard's culls(too short) would be my TOP dog. His sh it is my treasure.

Bryant/Steve,
I agreee. You want to stack the odds in your favor but I think even with that it is still a gamble b/c no litter is going to throw 100% good dogs. (a good dog to me anyways).

I think alot of people havent had the pleasure to hunt behind GOOD dogs. Anyone can go pick up a few dogs and find a hog sometimes. I did it for a while. I am now tring to get good dogs to hunt behind. Been a long road and I still dont see the end in sight. I dont want dogs that will sometimes find hogs. I want the ones that will hunt their as s off and find me that hog.

Just like the others have said above me- Alot of dogs will find and bay a hog. That doesnt make them a hog dog. A good bloodline will help put the odds in your favor but................Look at this way. How many Hall of Famer sport athletes have kids following in their footsteps, NOT MANY.
