Alot of the time......Selling out = getting rid of chit eaters to try and buy better chit eaters....

My favorite ads go like this " For sale good dog. With some time is gonna make a jam up one for sure, but just have too many to feed right now. Will sell for $$$ or trade for a good dog with real potential, no junk".................lol

inflation like the price of gas and dog food going up.

divorce...

moving away or having to work out of town...

not having a place to hunt...this is a big one...

have to be committed to the dogs and expensive to maintain the pack...

feeding dogs every day and cleaning up poop...might make someone quit...

I have seen that one before...  Shocked Grin

The folks that put that one up have the makings of great politicians... Grin Wink


it is a real nice way of selling a cull to a beginner...And the beginner can "finish out" the culling process after a year...

TimmsHogDogs,

Sorry about your man losing his job...Hope he finds one soon. I have seen folks pick up work from info on this board.

I sure was not disrespecting you and yours in any way.


Cutting back the pack due to loss of job is legit and a good way for someome to get a decent dog or dogs.

I didnt take any offense, I was just stating that I promise mine arent culls lol  Smiley they are just the younger ones that would easily take up with another pack, some people told him of some rigs that are hiring, he's applied at about 30, I hope he hears something soon..... Smiley

Some people have legit reasons, never been a dog trader but have had to give a dog up because had to many females w pups, my bad luck lost one to bag fever and the other had a litter of muts.
I do agree most inexperienced people go huntn one time get hooked then they get on the dog trade and buy a pack of junk.  Now they have junk to hunt and no places to hunt.  The cycle of junk dog trade starts all over again.

Over the years I have seen people come and go to hog hunting only a select few stay with it. I know guys who start fishing and sale all there dogs and then try and buy dogs after deer season.  They all call me wanting to buy dogs or want to know were  they can buy them. I feed mine year around.

yep, I knew a few who sold out after grain season but knew where to go buy dogs for the next season. Seems most of the dogs were cross breds with grit.

We've been pounding this into everyone's head since we started this site...

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY! Wink

But, there have been some damn good hog dogs sold over the years, for lots of money, due to folks selling out for various reasons.

For the most part, I think its a summer time thing. You have to really enjoy hog hunting to hunt in this kind of weather, and good dog food isnt cheap. Its not often that you see true hog hunters and dog men sell out and if they do, its for a good reason, not because its too hot or because the snakes started crawling lol Ive even heard the excuse that they didnt want to feed a pack of dogs through deer season, Huh? Huh? Huh? , some things never change.

There's all kinds of reasons but one things for sure, if the guy or girl is all scabby and shaky, sweating and thinks he has spiderwebs on his face the whole time, run.

Personally I wish about half the folks who have dogs would sell out and take up noodling or nutria hunting. I had a very tense conversation with a farmer today who apparently hates the whole lot of us. If your not making things better for the sport then dont let the door hit you where the good lord split you.

We train and sell dogs. And ours ain't junk. I tell the truth on em. And I offer trials on all. I gave a trial on a $75 dollar dog. Not everyone is trying to screw someone but there r those r.  Like Mike said try before u buy or don't gripe. And if coyote hunter posts a dog there is a trial or I Will hunt in front of u. Even on 6 wk old pups I offer to buy back at one yr for what u paid.
