EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Does anyone hunt with the ladner bloodline and if so how do you like them. Or does anyone know anybody that hunts with that bloodline. I have an 8 month old that I've started in the pen and did great from the start. Haven't had her in the woods yet. Just wondering what others think bout this bloodline.

ive got an 18 month old full bmc ladner. he hunts reall good and bays real tight hes already starting to go on his ownhes only struck 1 pig but he does good. i like the bloodline alot.

Well thank you. This is my first ladner. My dad drove up to missippi and got her as a pup from Curtis ladner. Once I get her goin good I plan on gettin another pup from him. Like yours she bays real tight and I was very impressed. I'm eager to get her in the woods. I was wondering what others thought bout that bloodline before I get another bc I don't see it talked bout that much.

The way I see it if they can trail a coon and kill it you can make a hog dog out of the same dog. Probably as good as the best ones.

That's how I got turned on to that bloodline.my dad used to hog hunt when I was real young but switched to coon so I could go along. Im 24 now and gettin back into hogs. For coon he got to love the mountain view cur from mike bloodgood in Kentucky. Good dogs on coon but I think the ladners might  out do them.

Mtn view curs are Kemmer mtn curs. Mike Bloodgood broke away from the kemmer and went on his own. I like the mtn cur but just like all breeds not all turn out.

I'm no authority on hog dog bloodlines by any stretch of the imagination,, but I have a Ladner male 15 months old, as far as starting him, at four month he seen his first shoat without ant hesitation he tried to tear the cage apart to get to the shoat. Has yet to trash on anything. But he has been slow to mature, I was getting a little dis appointed with him then in the last 45 days he's made alotta progress,,and my dog like to hunt by his self will be real short range when other dog are used. I also have a female 1/2 Ladner / 1/2 AB she just 6 month and has started well. Both dog's are very trainable. Im very pleased with mine so far!!  Good luck and hope she turn out for ya.

Post a pic. of her I'd like to see her build..

Thank-you. I'm still trying to get some dogs together since I'm just starting out again and don't have any dogs to take to the woods and run with her but in time I'm sure I will be pleased with her.

Will do. I don't have any good pics on my phone but I will take a better pic of her when I get home from work in a few hours

I had a real good looking one for a while. Drove almost to Kansas from southeast texas to buy him. He did rral good and was a good long range hunter. I had wormed him and he was very healthy and then all of a sudden one day he just died. Still haven't figured it out. All my other dogs were fine. Just kinda makes me shy away from expensive dogs. All my other dogs have been free and you couldn't kill them if you wanted to. They eat chicken and fish bones everyday, play on heavy machinery, mix prescription medication with alcohol...

mine are ladner bred and i love them roughas hell

buy you a Ladner female pup and then raise your own.

That's what I was thinking and then still have the pure bloodline without having to pay that high prices. And dangerzone I couldn't get the pics to upload on here so I will try sending them to your email.

Mr Bennet how long have you been running ladners?

thats my dog on curtis ladners web page on dogs on hogs. he has plenty of hunt and is pretty dang gritty caught lots of pigs with him but gets cut up quiet a bit.


 Mark

That's cool. I know what pic your talking bout. I remember seeing it.can you tell me why your dog gets cut up a lot. Is it the way he bays or reflexes too slow or something else? And just curious but how many other ladners have u  had?
 And thank you

Do the ladner dogs put out mouth on track?  Just wondering since they are bred primarily as tree dogs.

he gets cut alot because he is a little on the gritty side. he will back up and bay but its normaly after he has sized him up. i have had 5 sent from them but down to one. 4 from lh ladner and one from his son which turned out to be a decent dog not near as gritty but not what you call loose either. as far as putting mouth on track mine diddnt but i had a litter out of him and a bitch i bought from someone else which was a ladner dog and they yipped after pig broke.   

Well I think she will turn out good. At 3 months old I let her  out had seen a squirrel in the yard lil before that and she followed the trail to the tree. Talkin bout bein open on track Idk yet. My dad has a 10 year old mountain view cur coon dog. She's semi open on coon. Decided to try using her in the bay pen to train another dog. First hog she ever saw bayed good. Decided to tie the hog and drag it for her to follow a trail. She winded the hog and went straight to him finding it. Did good.kinder slower on track bc of age but she was silent on the hog when she would open on coons.

My ladner is silent, will bark twice and goes for the catch on anything under 150, I havent had him on anything bigger without other dogs there, last two time I hunted him alone he went after hogs 120-140, i know for fact he passed up a larger sow to go after a smaller boar last time out.. I'm not sure if he's don't wanna mess with one bigger or he's being smart and knows he shouldn't catch a 200lb'er alone... anyway I'm having fun with him, I hunt just me and him on some smaller tracks of land I hunt been working out real nice he singles one out he can stop quick and i'm not running over fences to get to him..

I'm just curious dangerzone. What kinda range does he have when you hunt him alone and what range when u  run him with other dogs?

thomas, when i hunt with friends and dogs he's not use to he will make 1-2 200yd loop's then hang with in 50 yrd's till you can hear the other dog's bay, when it's just me and him the furthest he's got out is 400yd's hunting, hog he caught in jan. he ran down just over 500yd's, when I run him with my pup trainer he'll hang with her and be gone, he'll be 14 months old end of this month, he has really turned on this last month I think he's just maturing later than some, I was told by someone when I first got him that some ladner dogs mature and turn on late, like I said I'm no expert on hog dogs

That range sounds alright to me and I'm sure he will grow to be better and better as time progresses and u hunt him more. I'm  eager to see how my female will do. Her heat cycle just ended first of this week and Im gonna work her on trailing with some lil pigs I have.I noticed between the time that she was 6-7 months old something just clicked with her and she realized the obedience and discipline I had been teaching her. As far as commands she Prolly out does any of the other dogs I have. She tries hard to plz me. That's one thing I really like in her.
