All mine i just cast them. They dang sure wont hang around your feet once you cut them loose.
what age do you start them and what age do they start getting out of dodge. Generally. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 I start messin with mine a lot after they are a yr old. Most of the ones I've been around start to range out with my older dogs at about 1-1/2 years old and at about 2 yrs they become pretty independent and don't need much help. |

I had one, Parker's Sassy, sired by Rowdy II, bred by Parker and raised by Mike Doyle. Real stopping power, shut down a runner with the quickness. She had so much hunt, drive, and bottom . . that I quit hunting her because it was no fun. When you turned her loose, she WOULD NOT come back. She would be 2 miles out in no sign. The last time I hunted her, we turned her loose at 8 am and tracked to her all day, crossing deer leases, getting permission to go through gates, etc, etc, and we got to her bayed by herself on a sow at 4 pm the next county. She was 6.2 miles from where we turned her loose(on a Garmin). I never hunted her again after that because it was an all day ordeal if there were no hogs around. I will say this . . if you are looking for dogs that will leave out and go find a hog, get you a Parker. They are the real deal. But you better have your hog huntin britches on.

Do you think a dog would have found hogs behind her?

It would be hard for me to feed anything else. I haven't seen many with the get out and go that these dogs have. I hunt a place where it's nothing but floating marsh, some bad territory where you have to wear snow shoes to walk it(no lie), i find that this terrain cuts a dogs range down a lot and these dogs dont care they rolling through it. I've only hunted mine once on hard ground in Mississippi and that was this year at 2yrs of age and they would roll out a mile or more on that hunt. The 2yr olds i have still have much to learn before I'd call them "hog dogs" but they sure are impressing the heck out of me.
