EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I got a 3/4 bmc 1/4 ab but I am bout to start here as soon as I get a shoalt I have trained all my dogs from pup I know the basics and I like the way my dogs are turning out just lookin for some tips advise like to learn as much as I can thanks

What advice you looking for?  What areas do you have trouble with? What are you hoping the dog will do?

being that its a 3/4 bmc and a 1/4 ab, the dog is more than likely to be a ROUGH bay dog, or a RCD...
nows when u decide what u want the dog to do like 3W said...

I see him as a running catch dog but is the bmc side rough or loose. I mean you gotta go back to the breeding sometimes Is the parents full bmc and half bmc half ab?  Its alot of questions to be answered

I want a rough bay dog but if she turns into a rcd that would be fine to I could use another I put them on shoalt it they catch or bay everytime they see one and then I hunt them as much as possible with older dog just wonderin what everybody else is doin and if any trick the have and advise hope this helps

Wel how big is your pup and how big is the shoat? Alot of dogs will catch anything smaller than them. So can't really go on if its going to catch or bay just on a shoat woods time and big pigs will determine if it will catch or bay. But if you want it to hunt gotta do more than just pen work. Got to do drags and mach hunts and all that good stuff. Im sure you already know this tho

I have heard of drag but not exactly sure how to do it and what is mach she is 4 months in feb I just will let here see it in a cage till she is 5or6 months I have trained dogs befor I am just wanting to learn some new techniquies and tricks of the trade

Take that shoat out the pen poor water on it drag it around the woods tie one back leg with bout 5 ft of lead to a tree and walk the dog across the track and see if she takes it and finds the pig.  May run her with an older dog to help her and show her

Ok thanks

To me I'd stay away from a pen, I'd work them a little outside the pen and let the pup
 Watch other dogs bay..don't put her in there. Does this for 3-4 days...this is to MAKE HER WANT IT! Next time let her bay inside the pen with another started pup sometimes older dogs can teach them but I rather use a pup around their age range my older dogs are catchy! Be sure not too stick with the pen too long, they will start to get spoiled with u giving them a hog..( I start in the pen once they start baying I'm taking them to the woods and working them with older dogs) they gotta realize if they want it they have to work to find it! Good luck theres many ways to train there is no certain way! Pick one and stick with it good luck. -dylan

One of the most important things to know when training... let the animal first show you what it's good at and then help them to that end...

x2 on outside the pen...when the pup fires up and goes crazy and wants in...is when you let her in with an experienced dog

Thanks for all the help defenitaly gonna try out everything

On the real side give him a chance to just be a pup don't rush anything 4 months is still kinda young

Sounds like you got you some good info. If she's any thing like her dad she'll be on the rough  bay side, even though the AB comes from her mom, her mom is all bay, either way I don't think you'll have any problem getting her started. Her litter mates already raze heck at the fence any time the hogs make noise in their pen and their out of sight from the hogs.

How's Kevin's pup and the other girl doin?

There doin great the white pup was was rasin hell over hogs in a trailer one morning wit an older dog and all three pups are pretty independent and extremly smart they seem to have really great traits

I caught and kept 3 20-40lb er's last week I plan on starting to work the pups I kept first of feb.

I still have one girl a guy backed out on if you know someone wanting a pup.

I can check around and see if anybody needs a pup I plan on starting my pup on the first of feb to

Where y'all from?

Ah sorry AB...?

Well, i hope you find her a home. If I don't end up getting this ab x APBT then I'll give you a shout to see if u still have her. Good luck!
