Get pups outta proven lines, raise em up and find someone with older dogs to run em with once they are old enough to keep up.....i show mine a hog in a pen 2-4 times just to show em what i want em huntin then its a matter of waitin til they can keep up with the big dogs.

most people starting out have no problem finding pups at a reasonable price , but a good up and coming or seasoned bay\strike dog is hard to come by but that works the best , run the pup or pups behind the good one , training one at a time works best in the feild , pups together dont want to pay attention most of the time , dont just show them a hog in a pen , do mock hunts , drag the hog away from the pin and have them follow the sent trail , a little father each time , give them praise when they find it , after this you will be on your way ,[ patience ] puppys get board pretty fast , make it fun and dont burn them out ,try to lead them off while there still intrested in the hog , this will intensify there drive and make them want it more , good luck , just my 2 cents

Put those to comments together and in a year or maybe sooner youll have you a well started strike dog. Only thing better than well started is a finished strike dog but that will take more time and a whole lot of huntin. What kind of pups you looking for?

you got to have a lot of time to make a pack the best bred dogs cant find a pig if they stay in a kennel all the time .

The best training can't make up for bad breeding.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
