Title: Hog dogs that point hogs like bird dogs Post by: Goatcher on April 14, 2011, 12:45:28 pm Any of you have one of those?
I had a catahoula 30 years back that would point like a bird dog a hog in a bush. When you told him "get a hold" or made a hissing noise "pssst!" he would rush in and catch the hog. His father pointed hogs too, after he was on them all day and tired of baying and no one came to help! He also naturally hunted and retrieved wild California valley quail. No training, pointed, flushed, retrieved with naturally soft mouth. I got this line from the NB Hunt Ranch, Texas, from their cow dog line. I got the reject cow dogs that quit the cows to bay hogs in the brush all day long. He is the gray leopard cur in photo. His brother/littermate is the big headed white dog. This photo is so old they did not make radio tracking collars for dog hunters back then. You can see the tracking collars on these dogs are homemade.

Do you have any clue if that ranch still has that line of dogs?

If the hog runs and then stops again he will bay it . Problem is he will point a bird too so you never know ..
