How are they bred Booney, and are they strictly hog dogs?

They are out of our dogs some july and some walker july dogs go back to old German lines and walkers have some crogan and fox dogs in them and we use them on coyotes don't have hogs up here in iowa but I would bet they would run one

Goodman hound..... Just starting to figure a few things out....(http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r588/crossstock/aaaaaa/535F6DE1-F63F-41D4-9F72-CF54FE6053E6.png) (http://s1173.photobucket.com/user/crossstock/media/aaaaaa/535F6DE1-F63F-41D4-9F72-CF54FE6053E6.png.html)

She's a trigg. Little fat in this picture, has way more leg than the picture shows.

Anybody ever heard of the clay bred running walkers

Never heard of clay bred but I grew up with my dad running Fan Tail  running walkers.


Shotgun
Arkansas

I am in Arkansas also and I run Plotts on hogs, and July, trigg, flag mix on deer. Don't know how to post pics.

Not to many have heard about them because the old man who bred them kept really close tabs on who had them, they have been bred for 30 some odd years for strictly bobcat hunting, old mans name E Finney Clay. They are a smart cat crazy bred to run to kill kinda walker dog.

Booney does your dogs have enough grit about them that they will take on a yote one on one or do they have to be in a pack? Just curious.

Finney Clay & his son Henry are die hard cat hunters from Ark. Like said they have bred their strain of running walkers for ages. They breed for cold noses, speed & cat sense. They live in Ark. but hunt all over, a lot in Fla. They hunt year round.

Mr. Finney passed away several months back, I never had the privilege of meeting but I'm real good friends with Harold Parker who has bred and traded the clay line with Finney for years, I'm waiting on the right time and I'm going to breed some if that blood into these cur dogs. Mr. Mike have you been hunting with Mr. Charlie lately ?

sounds like these guys are/were hardcore breeders that know what a good hunting dog is...and applied their knowledge  in breeding the best...I am interested in learning more about their dogs...any pics?

  Rueben you can catch up with them on the biggamehoundsman site in the bobcat section . he frequents there quite a bit  . I think his handle is dads dog boy .

thanks halfbreed

Goose, I have asked Charlie to come with me the last two times I have went & he has been to busy. He is real short handed right now & with the dry weather he has had to keep working. Me, being the buddy that I am, have teased him relentlessly with pics. of the hogs we caught on the last two hunts that I texted to him.
  Harold Parker is another cat hunter who has devoted his life to hounds. Like said he has used some Clay blood & his own & bred his strain of running Walkers for over 25 years just for cat hunting. He has come over twice & hunted behind my house with me & showed me cats each time & this was in the summer. He also has Treeing Walkers that he uses for coon hunting. If they are anything like his cat hounds they are top notch. Harold has a handle on his hounds that is unbelievable. He never carries a leash. I have seen him call 10 hounds off of a hot cat race when they started headed for the highway.
  Interesting note, Harold does not mix his Treeing Walkers with his cat dogs. He told me in our country(down south) that if a dog even thinks about treeing, he will never catch up to the cat. Also for those that think all running walkers are hot nosed, you will find these cathunters breed for cold noses.

Ya i have a couple that Will make a coyotes day go bad about any pair of day dogs i have can kill one pretty easy i guess u would say

Mr. Mike I ran into him in madisonville several weeks ago and he give me and Francis Spiers several 5 gallon buckets of okra, said he had been real busy then as well .

Harold an I are good friends we back ground all of his cattle for him. You should see his pack of kelpies work a set of yearlings about 500 deep. He never touches them he opens the box and sits in his truck and has trained them to push the cattle toward his truck whenever he blows the horn. Him and Mrs. Dawn are good people.

Booney reason I ask I'm wanting to breed a little walker in this line of curs I have to add some track speed and more game craze and this line were talking about is what I'm going to use, a type of dog who has one mission on his mind and that is to catch the game he is after.

Goose I have some running walkers with good noses that if they can smell can run a track as fast as they can move and when they get to the end know what to do are they the best no but they suit me good . If there is anyway I can help u out I sure would nothing I like better then trying to produce better dogs which I am still learning to do also

Booney how are they bred they are some great looking young hounds

July hound go back to old German lines friend south of me raises them and the walkers are a little crogan bred with a touch of fox dogs

This is a pair of running hound x cur dog crosses I'm raising. I didn't breed em, just fortunate enough to be allowed to raise.  They were 4 months old in this picture.

Some racey looking pups there nice

They have some july in them ?

I've been wanting to give them July hounds a go for a while  just havnt found any close

They're half July if I'm not mistaken.

Ba I've from the looks of them I would say you are not mistaken lol good luck with them

Sure is a spitting image of little boy!   They where breed to hunt so you will enjoy them i'm sure!

I met Mr. Clay in 1999 in N. Fl.. It was about 25 degrees out that morning. I was alone and caught a sow about 150# in a ditch deeper that I am tall! I caught the sow and was sitting on the bank and freezing cold and out of breath and I hear hounds coming and cold trail across the road. Two guys drive up in there late 60's and early 70's. It was Mr. Clay and his hunting buddy. They tell me how unintelligent I am at the time for swimming and being alone.

They gave me a ride to my truck and invited me to eat lunch with them later. I did and we talked hounds for 2 hours. I was glad to meet him and I really did not know the quality of his hounds till a few years later.

Uno
