Well I go pick up my first hog dog next weekend. He is a 7 month old Catahoula, he comes from a good blood line and has already been started in a Bay pen. I will let everyone know what blood line he is from just was to excited to hear that part. We just use bay dogs then shoot the hogs, no catch dog. If anyone has any tips on getting him woods ready please let me know, like i said I am just starting out and I am starting this from scratch for me. Also if anyone knows of anyone that has hogs and wants to see dogs ran we will travel.
