Yes I have. It sucks and there is nothing you can really do about it except drive that three to four hours and beat the living crap out of him. At least thats what I wanted to do. Just out of curiousity where did this happen. Pm me the info if you dont mind. You cant post the info here, but you can pm it to anyone that asks for it. I did.

Yea,only my trips to buy a dog are usually 10-12 hrs.Sometimes ya get a good one a lot of times you dont,just a chance you take when you
dont train your own.Some peoples Idea of a good dog differ from others.My whole pack is somebody elses culls,but they are the only ones I can afford.Someday I'll raise some that are jam up dogs and they will be priceless cause I trained em.

Now are you trying to say the dog didn't turn out or that simply spending that kind of time and money on one dog is bull crap? the way it read to me is that It's crazy how we will spend that kind of time and money just for hunting. but if the dog didn't turn out then yeah it's bull crap.

yea i have tried dogs from all the surrounding states and have been dissipointed everythime when i got home some i took back and some i just culled to keep someone else from getting screwed over, but everybody buying a dog needs to remember, people that hog hunt are not gonna sell a good dog or one that has good potential because they hunt, and if they just did happen to sell a dog one of their buddys would get first chance on buying it, not some guy they dont know, i think the best thing to do is get a puppy and start hunting with someone with good dogs and it may take several puppys or buy from someone getting out of hunting, and if its one thing people will lie about its a dog, i have hauled my share of dogs across the country and wont go get another one, i get mad everytime i think about it, but i raised some and are satisfied with them

Buying a dog on trial is no better than buying it without. Nor is having a contract written. It is all a gamble. Go hunt with the dog first or suffer the consequences!!!  |

I have to agree with Ag on that,many of these guys that put dogs on trial have fake IDs and will use stolen license plates so when you go to return the dog they vanish.I have be burned 2 times in 2 years,unless the person is willing to show me the dog up in a hogs face in the wild he wont get my money.Also many people will show you what a dog will do on a penned hog,I dont care what he can do in a pen I want to see what he does in the jungle.Do you know where you are,your in the jungle baby?Had to throw that in.  |

That dont always work either.I watched a dog hunt his butt off out to 800 yds then he shut down a big boar.Bought him,took him huntin and he just stood at my feet and looked at me.Dropped him in fresh sign,and he just stood at my feet lookin at me.I was about to get disgusted but I seen this dog work before I bought him.Dropped him out with my gyp caught a couple hogs and hes startin to come back around.Just gotta remember a dog still has a mind of his own and sometimes it just takes time to adjust. |

The guy was from sulphur springs Texas and I'm talking about the dog stay behind me about 100yards at all times and won't hunt until another dog strikes a hog and then it decides to to go help bay. It's bull crap! I won't do it agan cuz my gf hasn't let me live it down! 500 down the drain for a dog that's hardly worth 200

The guy talked about this dog being an almost finish led dog and u can't even get him to stay in front of u with my other dogs. He told me this dog stuck him several hogs and that he has a guide service. Must be a pretty sucky service lol oh well nothing i can do now except not do it again

Get references, get on the forum and ask people if they have bought a dog from this person. Take a picture of the person you buy the dog from. There are a few dog peddlers that screw people over all the time and never seem to get caught. It seems like you hear about somebody getting screwed on a dog deal every few weeks.

X110 not talking smack but I know of a few dogs that wouldn't cut it here where we hunt, but made good dogs down south.. Flatter ground and way more open country |

Mohog your completly right. Just because a dog works good in one pack. He may not be the alpha dog in another pack. Plus dogs are animals and not machines.....They will do what they want to do. Almost like a teenager.....Every dog has its own personality. Me and sportsman just got a badass pit from PA.Well he was in a bus for 3 or 4 days and skitish when we first met. Dogs get attached to the person that feeds them or stressed when they get moved around to. I'd say give the dog a few weeks then make an assumption. Buying a dog on trial is no better than buying it without. Nor is having a contract written. It is all a gamble. Go hunt with the dog first or suffer the consequences!!! That dont always work either.I watched a dog hunt his butt off out to 800 yds then he shut down a big boar.Bought him,took him huntin and he just stood at my feet and looked at me.Dropped him in fresh sign,and he just stood at my feet lookin at me.I was about to get disgusted but I seen this dog work before I bought him.Dropped him out with my gyp caught a couple hogs and hes startin to come back around.Just gotta remember a dog still has a mind of his own and sometimes it just takes time to adjust. |
