the pups were born on 5/21/12. Five males and two females...cut tails and dew claws at 5 days and at 2.5 weeks I put one of my old and sweaty tshirts in the dog house with the pups...by the time they came out of the house they were already bonding with me without any fear of me or my smell.
at 4 weeks they were introduced to gun fire and the smell of gun powder...but I did it at the right time and they responded well to it...I exposed them to the gun fire once a day for three days and they should be broke but will do it about 3 more times over the next few months just to make sure...
Today they are 5 weeks old and I introduced them to liver...I waited until they were very hungry before each one got a small piece...I made them work for it so they would be eager for it the next time...I then let them out of the pen and as they milled around me I cast out some liver bits about 7 or 8 feet upwind from them in the grass... four of the seven pups immediately winded and went looking...this is the first lesson/test to help me in identifying what each pup is capable of and what comes natural to each one...I will repeat this step several more times before I move on to the next step...

Is that the momma dog in the back of the pictures? How does she hunt?
I really like the brindle markings on a few of those males. The Parkers are tight bred, and an outcross seems to really throw some awesome dogs sometimes, maybe from hybrid vigor is what some say. I don't know, sometimes the cross works and sometimes they're average. Mid like to see how a son of Joe produces because I have a son of Joe and expect alot from him.

thanks everyone...I was surprised that all the pups came out looking and acting right...I say this because of the different breeds involved...but I wanted to bring in a different breed to the mtn cur and then breed these back to mtn cur...eventually they will be having 7/8th mtn cur but selecting carefully so that hopefully I will retain some of the good qualities from the Parker cur...
I just gave up the pick pup to the stud owner and he picked one of my 3 top picks at this point...Also gave a female to a good friend and the other is going to Beeville to another good friend...we are in agreement as to who they will be bred if she turns out as a top hog dog...
so that will leave me 4 and I am to trade a male for a female pup that will have about 1/2 of the blood from my old line of dogs...so I am happy about that...
they yellow dog in the back ground in one of the pics is the Kemmer female and she is a decent hog dog is about it...she has lots of grit and a great winding nose...
PigRig...I don't put much time on the pups...mostly shortcuts and tricks...a few minutes here and there...but I like swiiting in the back yard and watching them play and explore...just looking for any tell tell signs that will help me in learning how a pup will be when he gets a little older...
back when I quit the dogs towards the end I was getting 100% hog dogs from a litter...but I line bred and inbred...and I tested all pups and only bred the very best...especially focused on the early starters and those that had the ability to find a pig pretty quick and to not have any quit in them...been back in it since 2010 and struck out a few times...but I think I am off to a good start with these pups...also getting a 10 month old male that has quite a bit of my old line in his background on top and bottom...very good pup but is very gritty and is a little on the small side...his sister is burning down the woods so I know it is in them...
I believe there is one pup that will be sold and he has been reserved from a few months back...
Justin...waiting a few weeks to test the ability to take a liver track...then I will test for winding and finding...also will test for natural ranging...and then try the bay pen a few times to see which one or ones take naturally to hogs...I like to breed dogs that are natural to what I test for...many folks don't believe in this but I am a firm believer....
