We threw them three dogs and a more experienced dog of mine out on fifteen minute track. The only ones that stayed with the track was the more experienced dog of mine an the 200 dollar lill gyp..... the other2 didn't stay in the race 15 to 20 minutes tops a and was back at our feet. This was 6- 25- 15

Have his hips rayed, then you'll know for sure if he's displays tic or injured. What'll it cost, 50$? Good luck

My son has talked to him several times about dogs and from what I can gather, he has fenced in places well stocked with good hogs. From the videos I've seen, he drives around in wide open places 'till the dogs stumble on to a hog. Most dogs I've seen hunted that way don't know how to hunt.

Some mistakes cost more than others; I'm sure you learned from this one.  Seems like you got bucked out of the saddle early- dust yourself off, get straight and saddle up again....and don't make the same mistake twice.

Don't feel like you are the only one, we've all been there man.  Life isn't about the mistakes you make, it is the lessons you learned from the mistake made.

In years past I have seen large packs of dogs and the owner would talk about how good his dogs were because they caught a lot of pork...but maybe 2 or 3 dogs were what I called hog dogs...the rest were me too dogs that will run all day with the strike dogs and will stop or catch a hog...but take the strike dogs out and the other 6 or seven dogs might catch a hog if they stumble across one...

there actually are folks out there that have this mentality...so it might be their opinion and belief that they are selling you a good dog...

other times what someone breeds as a good hog dog others will cull it no matter how good...some reasons are the dog barks on track or is too long range etc...etc...

I ain't making the assumption that the guy ripped you off. Maybe he did, maybe he ddidn't.  I don't know the man or the caliber of his dogs, but like the above post said. If you get bucked off try again until you get a good ride in. And you damn sure ain't the only one that has paid good money for some pot lickers. I am very gullible , I have been taken more than once. I finally learned my lesson. I consider myself an honest guy and tend to think the next dog man will be to. But that's hardly ever the case. I've even see some folks in a "sell out" type of situation,  claiming they are done hunting and selling there  personal dogs.  When the truth is , they got trigger happy and bought every 300 dollar "finished" dog they ran across and ended up with 15 dogs that don't know there ass from a hole in the ground.  They call it there pack and sell out for 3,000$ claimimg to be done hunting but the garmin aint for sale. Lol. I do understand taking a chance if it's not local, and you have heard good things from trusted people about the seller. But I've been hit to hard, I won't even do that. But I don't know the circumstances of what you have going on.  I would definitely have the dog X rayed though and maybe the vet can see something you cant. Dogs are funny. I love to hunt hogs. And lots of other critters, but I have a bad knee that gives me trouble sometimes and when it's hurting I won't hunt either..lol. Good luck  to you though and I hope you find something that puts some pork on the table for ya !!!

after getting screwed more than a couple of times I do all I can to breed my own...and...I am picky about the looks and size as well...because it costs the same to feed a sorry ugly dog as it does a great looking dog that does a good job...so I prefer the latter...

A lot of people don't understand buying dogs. It's alot more to it than just handing a guy a stack of money and getting a dog and going catch hogs, especially dogs that come from different states. A dog that's been hunted in a pen its whole life is going to be awole different dog when it gets dropped in the marsh or a whole different terrain. A lot of dogs that's been hunted in open land don't know how to swim across the river and keep on track like a dog thats been hunted around rivers its whole life. And don't dan moody hunt for a living. Him selling a hog dog would be like a welder selling his welding truck. It just don't make sense, and you can remember anyone that's hunting is not going to sell a dog worth a quarter.

I live over here in bama and for some reason people from here like buying dogs from Texas and I haven't seen but 1 I liked and he was high dollar and loved a deer way more than a hog, all the others when they let them loose they was badly confused lol and most people were very dissapointed. I'm just saying before you hand a person some money you need to see the dog hunt on your places. If they don't want to bring it don't buy it, it's dogs for sale everyday, whether their good or not is what you have to find out

There are two common points of view when I read these comments.   The first is "give him a little time, new place, dog needs to adjust to new owner/hunting area."    The other is "oh well, you got screwed, no big deal you live and you learn."

No call me old fashion but both these ideals are BULLnumber 2!   First and formost if the dogs were hog dogs they won't need any adjustment period, a hog smell the same anywhere in the country and I have never see much of a dog that couldn't travel and bay hogs.

Second if this guy screwed someone its not just a learning curve and go about your business.   I see this Moody guys name everwhere and from what I can tell he sells a lot of dogs and he knew damn good and well what he was selling.    I would go see Mr. Moody and we would get a deal worked out.   

I work hard for my money and I don't screw folks so folks aren't gonna screw me.    Good luck J.HODGES

This is one of main reasons I don't buy hog dogs. All but one of my dogs were free and only paid 75$ for only one I paid money for. Mine aren't the greatest but I am feeding 7 right now and everyone can get the job done on their own. Some are just better at it then others. One thing I see wth buying a supposedly finished hog dog is that someone will go pay big money and bring the dog home take it hunting very next day with all his buddies and all his buddies dogs and be very disappointed when the dog doesn't do well. Then immediatly want to take it back. Sometimes it might take a good dog several months and countless hunts to be back to its normal self

Might I ask what you paid for the dog and did he take it back. Price shouldn't have much to do with the mans  integrity but it might with the dogs worth
