lol ya theres good reasons for sellin out... but very few, the main thing behind that slogan is either too many dog traders using the same line, or someone pawning off their junk to replace it... i mean if your sellin out why would u keep huntin and buyin or tradin more dogs? a few honest folks are truely in a bind is why there sellin dogs, but the statement (selling out) is a classic dog tradin slogan...not every dog peddler is bad but id be weary of anyone sellin a whole pile of dogs at one time, would for no reason buy a dog without a trial, and remember if someone is telling you everything u wanna hear and it sounds too good to be true then it probably is  |

Like I stated before,I am "selling out" or thinning out because my husband lost his job, we are keeping our best dogs because I know we will get back into hunting at some point its just to hard to feed 30 dogs right now, I am weary of buying from people I see always having "finished" dogs for sale. I sold a female BMC she was fully trained but I told the man I am selling her for a good going price instead of a finished price because to me no dog is ever finished, they can always learn something new. She hunts out, and strikes her own hogs but she hunts better one day and the next she doesnt hunt as good, It takes dogs time to re-ajust to a new pack and people have to understand that when buying or selling a dog, It could take the dogs months to finally get used to its surrounding so a 2 week trial isnt gonna help that kind of dog, but if you at least offer that is what counts.

Other than the dog trader/selling out scenario, I think the idea of selling out is relative to how vested you are in your current pack.
In my situation, I could have "sold out" earlier this year. Haven't been hunting as much, I started team roping which has taken a huge amount of my time, and I have been doing some home remodeling. All things that have kept me away from hog dogging. If I was not vested in a few of the dogs, I could have put up an ad that said I was selling out. Not because anything was wrong with the dogs, and not because I am a dog trader, but because other things were taking priority, and I would rather see my dogs in the woods hunted than sitting on chains or in kennels. Due to the fact that I am vested in a few dogs, and I would like to continue hunting when time allows, I sent a couple dogs to friends to be hunted, while my attention was elsewhere. I also sold the young dogs/pups that would not be started if I kept them in my kennels, and I sold my catch dogs, as they are not necessary for me to find hogs with. Now I would gladly give out contact info to anyone wanting to inquire about the dogs I sold, to see if the purchaser thought I passed on some of my "junk".... You will likely find that they were pleased with their purchase, and the dogs are exactly as they were presented.
I typed all that to basically say, Don't just assume that because someone is "selling out", that it is to pass on junk. As it certainly was not the case in my situation. If I wasn't vested in the few dogs I kept, I would have sold out everything, and it still would have been a fair deal for anyone looking to purchase some dogs. Just because some is selling out, does not mean they are misrepresenting anything...
Kinda like Mike has mentioned so many times... hunt it before you buy it. If you like the dog, who gives a damn what the circumstances are behind selling.

Mayb so circle c but my (good) dogs would never b sold even if I had to live under a bridge and use them as pillows... I been ropin as long as I have been hog huntin I hope To see u at a ropin somewhere where bouts u rope at? Sure if u have 30 dogs and loose Ur job some have to go... But I bet the best ones don't go first... The least liked ones go first no need in sugar coatin it cuz that's the truth of it, I have welded outta town on pipelines for months and sold off all but 3 dogs and they went with me and stayed in hotel rooms on the road with me, wasnt the ideal situation but it was the dogs or the job...a good jam up dog usually doesn't have a lot of ownership changes and anyone that has a sellin out add is obviously gonna try to justify why there sellin out and I'm sure Workin and lack of working are legit reasons for sellin out and I wasn't really referring to that but just wanted to bring up that a good bit of the time the dogs Gettin sold are not 100% jam up priceless finished dogs that just can't afford to feed but to some extent are culls that are wantin thinned out for some reason... I avoid the sell out approach by having 5-6 (good) dogs and that's it... If I can't catch hogs with just a couple then I just won't hunt... I'm not Runnin a kennel or puppy mill I have hog dogs and there's no way I could hunt 30 of them so I see no reason to own that many... common sence but it's just my opinion. beware of someone selling multiple dogs as far as finished or older dogs are concerned |

I think it's fair to say that when someone is selling out, they are getting rid of everything, including the good ones. If they are selling down/thinning down, then they are keeping what they like, and selling the rest. Whether they are culls, good dogs, whatever they are, the person does not want them anymore. Doesn't make the person a crook. As for the roping. I've been roping locally, not hauling anywhere. Just now learning, and getting a little better each day. But, y'all watch out now, I have a plan. Gonna hone my skills privately, then put in for a card and carry around a #3 until they wise up. haha I have a few friends that have been helping me each time at the practice pen, not sure if you know any of them. Chad and Tim Brock, Trull Tettenhorst, Jon T, Jacob Hayman, , Brother Toups. Truth is, I am having fun and making a little progress. My "trainers" say I should be hauling to some jackpots, but I want to get more consistent before I go throw away my hard earned money. |

Ya gotta b careful these days them high school kids will take Ur hard earned money fast don't underestimate them like I did lol  i have a pen at the house but haven't been Haulin very far too hot for me just local jackpots is bout it. And I was kinda referring to the selling out as far as the folks sellin out but still keepin half a dozen dogs or sellin out for good but want to trade for other hog dogs and stuff like that... (thinning out) is different story and everyone does it for some reason or another and Alota folks tell u exactly what Ur buyin and why their sellin it and those people usually can b trusted from what I've learned |

WOW really, no I dont hunt 30 dogs at once 19 of those are puppies(two litters) and I have two sets of dogs that I can take at different times in case a few get hurt, I am not a puppy mill I bred two litter for specific reasons and due to a change in job situations I can no longer afford to keep any of the puppies I had planned to keep. I am not just keeping my favorites, Im keeping my oldest dogs that I have had since puppies and selling the rest, I know that the dogs I have for sale will do exactly what I say they will and I will buy them back if I have too, I sell dogs occasionally yes but they are always what I say they are and I have never had anyone come back and say that I cheated them, the people I keep in touch with have turned those dogs/ puppies into dang good dogs

It's also amazing bow many people just starting out get on here looking for advice on a dog. They don't like the responses and the dog ends up on the Dog Trade and has been catching or finding hogs for two or three years It's about as bad as the ones selling out every couple of months. Even though their really is some people who do sell out legitimately and that's where you'll find your gems. |

BIG BEN

Whats funny is when they "sell out" its usually never gear like vest's and tracking systems its just dogs. If I was to quit my dogs would go to my hunting buddies and the gear would be sold. That way if I did decide to get back into it there is a slight chance of getting a few of my dogs back.
