EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

What is a good breed of dog to start off with for hog dogging? I thought about a good bulldog so I can use him as a lead in Cd with my cousins dogs. But I want some other opinions.... thanks!

yellow bmc dog is the way to go

All depends on on what style you like hunting.

Best advice is get with a few guys BEFORE you buy dogs and see how they hunt and what style you enjoy the most.  Buy you dogs based off the style you like.

Buy the dog, not the BS that the guy feeds you about the dog  ;)

x2  ;)

x3 bc if you go by what most on here say you would think nothing else exists but yella dogs LOL

Yea there's also red and brindle  ;D

I agree with BA-IV and would add this. Do not buy dogs based on color or breed. There are several good breeds and good cross bred dogs out there. There are also culls in all of the hog dog breeds. Blackmouth cur, Catahoula, Lacy, and various kinds of hounds and crosses of all these breeds can work, as well as some I probably didn't mention. There are a lot of people that will tell you there is only one breed that will work. Not so. The best advice is to figure out what style you want to hunt, and get dogs that hunt that way regardless of their breed.

HAHAHA LOL!!!! DID U SAY A YELLOW DOG IF U KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT, THEM SOME ME TO DOGS  AND I HAVE ONLY SEEN 1 GOOD YELLA DOG IN TEXAS AND IF YOU GOT ONE I WANT TO MEET U AND WE CAN HUNT MY PLACES OR YOURS COME ON   

You haven't been around this site to long don't bite off more than you can chew.

Ohhhhhhhh man!!!! Fightin words!!! Heeeeeeeeeeeeere weeeeeeeeeee go!! ;D

I wouldnt go that far but yella dogs are the main dogs on this sight and they have there ups and downs just like any dog breed out there. I do not prefer them but i have seen some good ones but i will say this i see alot more culls come out of yella dogs than hounds  ;D

well i tell u what hogsnatchers the only one i seen owners name is justin and is on the adha bord team and he also has bay pen dogs other than that i have not and if u just think u have one give me a call 979-540-8170  if u want to lol and if your 4 hours away i know alot of people we can meet some places your best 2 yella dogs and my best 2 and u must have alot of land for me to turn my dogs out

Are you talking about Justin Hosea?

dont know his last name but i hunted with him and ty  in the wildbore usa contest 

Just a word of advice there is always someone with something better than whats in your yard so be careful what you wish for lol  ;D

Now ain't that the truth.  Humility is always a good trait to maintain.

ya i know that but if u just hunt your dog with each other u never will know how your dogs stand in the hog hunting world how do u think i know the people i know and a good thing about it all if  your dog is lost or took and people know the dog it will come out because people talk  

hogdown....you are fairly new and surley staring off on the negative side of things here, a word of advice would be to chill out and just enjoy the site with out all the challenging and negative stuff.   ;)

Is this a pink slip match?  ;D I know there are yeller dogs on this site  8) that will run circles around most dogs. I have owned a few yeller dogs that ended up being good dogs and will find their own hogs now. This to me sounds like a firestarter pissing match. Good luck to ya with that attitude... sound like a young gun anyways...  ;D

Alot of it is pride in your dogs i have it i know im gonna find hogs when i go to the woods but i damn sure am not gonna get on here telling people that i got the best dogs in the coun try let put money on it

didnt say i had the best dog i said i wanted to see a good yella dog   and he hunts his best 2 and i hunt my best dog and we can meet or hunt my place or his and gave him my #

Ah no feelings hurt here, I've hunted behind some really nice yellas have one thats young and doing a jamb up job, I have no reason to try and prove anything to anyone I hunt because I like to hunt and enjoy working my dogs. I have no breed preference one way or the other. I've seen culls in every breed. I have a buddy here locally I hunt with a good bit that had some really nice yellas I say had because he has lost several in the last couple months to bad hogs. Are yella dogs for everyone I think would be debatable, there are rough lines loose baying lines short range long range you name it just depends on how that particular dogman liked his and bred for those traits. There has been more directional breeding done in the yella dogs than just about any other breed. Are there still culls sure, but are there exceptional dogs out there that can reproduce themselves in their pups more consistently than most other breeds I believe so. If you still would like to get together and go on a hunt and try to put some swine down and have a good time let me know.

thats sounds good man just give me a call i dont hunt with guns or rcds but if u do thats cool to im loc. in giddings tx and i dont hunt at night that much do to my dogs are long range and stay hooked up

Long ways out there from me, if I ever get out that way ill give ya a ring. I don't run rcd or guns, I bring one but have no intention of using it unless its a bad situation developing. What type of dogs do you run, I run my yella male and a cat gyp which are my two best currently.

Ignorance is bliss.......

lol its funny u ask thats just how ignorant some people r i never said what kind off dog i have lol his a 3/4 plot and 1/4 yella  best dog and a 1/2 cat and running walker out of a my buddy line breed dogs (old clide dog)

Well Im for ya

Happy*

I dont hunt with many BMC but I have been with a feller in Ar with a BMC named Dusty that has constantly made hogs materialize so I say hes a good dog. I myself have yet to own a wonder hog dog I catch a few here and there but man I can drink beer with the best of em. And we can arm wrestle and see who can climb a tree fastest lol.

How old are you hogdown?

cat cross is almost 6 and my old dog is 7

I asked how old you are

im 26 and and i been hunting and working with dogs and all my life i came up in a hunting home if thats what your getting at

No not at all seems like your confident you have some good dogs. You talk like a 12 year old though lol

lol well come see ill take u on a hunt any day

Im down for this when and where id love to  ;D

Where do you hunt around Giddings?   Also what does range and bottom have to do with a dogs ability to hunt at night. I have hunted with some outstanding dogs as far as bottom and range at night and just like the daytime we caught hogs.

like doggie said whats wrong with night hunting?..i run a very long range black and tan gyp that isnt scared to be rough and we only night hunt..having a long range dog or one with bottom doesnt mean you cant hunt at night.
