EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Made quick run Saturday night,First big boar didnt have spectacular teeth but cut every dog with in reach,my mick dog rolled out and opened up on a group of about 20,they were packed tight in a thicket and we finally picked off a sow that went about 200,left her for the coyotes.

Good huntin, nice lookin dogs

good hog, and good looking dogs too

I like your dogs. they look like they mean business!

Thanks so oklahoma,soon they will be doing business in your part of the country,i will be a resident okie ;D

The pics really don't do them justice they are BIG boys.

what kinda dog is that?

Logan,the curs are blackmouths from an old line of dogs out of mineral wells,one of the catchdogs is an American bulldog and the other is 1/2 pit 1/2 dogo.The red pup is a 9 month old ridgeback that belongs to my little huntin buddy chris london,he is taking on the traits of a running catchdog more than anything.

Hey Jimmy can you find me a pup out of that bloodline?

Good hog.. and great looking dogs... congrats

Good looking dogs.  Those ridgebacks are tough dogs and very athletic.  You gotta be to hunt Lions.  Thanx for sharing.

Damn good looking dogs Roo!! Nice hog too!!

Lance

Good looking dogs and nice hog

Rowdy,thats an import from way south of here,designed to go ONE OUT all day baby!
Had a little trouble gettin him through qurantine though,they thought he was rabid ;D

good lookin cur dog and i like that ol ridgeback ;D

other than that one the rest are pretty sharp dogs!!! >:D

What, If you don't mind me asking is that line of curs like?
They look like they would be rough. Are they catchy?
What would you say they weigh?
Hunt, deep, close, or medium?
For a cur, hot nosed, cold, or medium?
Do they tend to be "watch dog like"

I have been studying different lines of cur dogs and always curious about family breed dogs
Thanks for any info you can send my way.

                                                                  Bob

Bob,those dogs are close to medium range if working ground sign or tracks,but if they wind a hog they may bay him a mile down the road so i would say exceptional noses in the wind and mildly hot on the ground.They weigh about 85-90 pounds and stay in hunting condition year round.They are rough even though both have been cut a lot,if they are baying its a group or a boar over 300,anything else is caught much to the bulldogs dismay.On the watchdog side you couldnt ask for more,if bills old dog cooney is roaming around the house you best stay in the truck till bill comes out,if you raise one of these pups with a small child they will protect them forever and i know bill encourages that in his line but they are not people aggressive out of their own territory,nor are they dog aggressive.The females out of this line are also big and make tremendous house and watchdogs and all of them are working cattle dogs so the handle on them is through the roof,just all round great dogs to have around,jimmy.

Hey thanks for the info. Does this guy have pups from time to time?

Yeah Bob,he said he was going to breed one females here pretty soon if she comes in,i will let you know if he does.

Hey thanks ROO, Keep me posted.

im pretty sure his sons was bread wen i was over there

You know about this line of dogs, TT?

realy only through jimmy was plannin on gettin one his next litter but realy aint checked i got a  female pit pup from bill couple months a go whos gonna be a huge headed , big , pretty sone of a gun, i can tell you the man dosent breed trash and knows wats hes doin with dogs, and there all pretty dogs from what ive seen

Thanks for the reply, would you say, in your opinion, that some one could do protection (manwork) with dogs from this  line?

i realy dont know sry, theyl prob do wat ever you put in front of em to do, there not dumb dogs at all

Bob,i dont think this line nor any other cur lines would be the best dog for manwork protection.There is still a level of intimidation in these dogs and they remember it like it was yesterday.Cur dogs,in my opinion no matter what level it is,will always fall back on this trait especially towards humans,they can be submissive a little to quick and are easily domianted.Even a dog that wont back down from a 300 pound hog will put its tail between its legs when spanked by a 3 yr old child, not claiming to know squat about the manwork but have yet to see a cur stand its ground on command.

nice looking dogs you got their..

hey bobdog , rockin roo is probly dead on right , but if your determined to use bmc,s ben jordan has a line of curs and some of em are pretty hard towards strangers .  but i dont know what exactly your gonna do with them. id say any line or individual could cur out on ya lol . just like anything else i guess , gotta go through a bunch to get what ya need. im interested in different lines too , if i can help let me know.
