EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I bought a dog from a member on here, 2 gyps was the post in the dog trade. Was told repeatedly that if she didn't work out he would come get her. I drove 4 1/2 hours one way to get her. The guy told me I could just have the other gyp since I'm driving that far. Well the day after I get them home I load my strike dog,catch dog and the two I got from him. I just put my dog on the hood cause the two I got from him never been on the hood. My dog comes off and starts baying, I jump out to send the two well started go for miles gyps I bought and they act like they can't hear or smell a thing. The pig breaks and comes straight towards us in a wide open two inch tall wheat field and randy stops a sow and some smaller piglets 120 yards from the truck. Both dogs seen and heard and more than likely smelt the pigs and randy baying. NOTHING!!! Well of course they break and head back to the river. Only randy on them, I grab my catch dog and head to him. Meanwhile piglets bout 30 pounds are running everywhere. The two gyps barely stayed up with me running to my dog bayed. Well I'm 28 yards from the bay.. Can see the pig and randy clearly on the river bank. NOTHING AGAIN!! Long story short the guy told me to put them down since he needed the kennel space and would wire the money back to me. I've called texted emailed pm'd him on here and on Facebook. Still no replies. I have his full name number Facebook page place of work and address. "Bout to go knocking" pm me or text me and I'll give u all the details. 4059331802

You may want to give them a few weeks. Hunted them day after you picked them up? Gotta give them some adjustment time.

I totally disagree with a older dog. If they are any kind of hog dog at over a year old they should show some interest even if a person just got them. I understand puppies and old dogs. 13 months old should be biting at the bit to be turned loose. I'm gonna give them time, time enough to get my money back. Nothing excited these dogs that whole time except the deer that ran infront of us on the way out. They did chase it a few hundred yards

i disagree. id wait atleast 2 weeks before i would hunt a new dog.

Haha man have you not read the stories and what not on here. Don't spend money if you don't hunt with the dogs.  Me IF I did this I durn sure wouldn't post about it here that I got dooped.  If people would use a little common sense on buying dogs people wouldn't get screwed on dogs.

I agree. I just kinda wanted to worn others and blow some steam lol. I know where he works lives and all that stuff. I figured that's all I needed to know if this deal did turn sour. But like y'all mentioned I should have known better I guess.

To each his own but 13 months is still a baby. At that age, these dogs may need to pack up and build a bond with you before they will work for you. Just something to think about.

Man just by him telling you to put them down is enough to tell you they're junk.

I don't candy coat nothing, and you can read all the BS on the Internet and buy into it if you want.  A hog dog is a hog dog, they see a pig they better know what it is.  Some dogs take an adjustment period hunting wise, you can't take a brand new dog and expect a superstar right then, but you dang sure can expect them to know what a hog is. 

X2
it sucks you got took caddo.

Just wondering. How much was the gyp?

And was she even started? You didn't mention is why I ask. You only said he would pick her up if she didn't work.

Sorry, reread post....well started, go for miles. Got it.

I paid him 200 cash.

200 for a well started go for miles dog shoulda been the first red flag.

x 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well.....that's a pretty good price for two well started dogs, heck, most 6 wk old puppies are $100-$150. Sorry it didn't work out for you. I hope you get your money back and I hope that works out for you with no difficulties. Lesson learned I guess.

I think a lot of people that get ripped like this are good guys that wanna give people the benefit of the doubt. Got burnt a few times myself thinking like this.

i will give you a cat male pup 15 or so months old he know what hog is an will dang sure go to a bay an trash broke

Man of his word right here!

For every handfull of douchebags out there there's a good person that stands by their word! I myself have met some really genuine folks through this forum.

Yes Louisiana your right then I have met a couple that I wish I had not lol.

A dog that knows what a hog is should show sober interest no matter what. I wouldn't expect a dog to show it's full potential at day one though.
  Look at it this way. You g two hundred bucks for two dogs.  Try them out for a while. You never know.

Kevin , at 13months  that dog better be hunting out and honoring any bay it can here. By hunting out I mean going with the grown dogs or at least chasing butter flys way out of my sight.

lol, well I haven't come across any of them types as of yet, lucky for me! :-p

Agreed that at 13 months a PUP should be ranging out. Disagree that EVERY GOOD pup will do it the very next day after being bought/moved. I don't know anything about the pups but I would give them the full extent of the "guarantee" period before I made a decision. That's just me...course, my expectations wouldn't have been that high to begin with, all things considered.

I appreciate the offer swamphunter. I guess I have too much pride but I can't take your dog. I don't have much but shoot me a price. Thanks again

Mike, you have to remember that not everyone breeds for the same things you do...

I mean, that's kind of asking a lot for some dogs that were bred as HELP dogs...  ;D

That's for sure! There are only a select few that are lucky enough to have a yard full of STRIKE dogs  ;D

hey bud this is the guy that sold you them dogs... yea i told you u could have your money back if the dogs didnt work out . now to clear things up .. saturday as i was talking to you me and my buddy was going hunting and on the way to go hunting we was going to run by walmart and wire you your money . now believe me or not at the store i got out to go see what the dogs was rasing hell about in the trailer and i sat my phone on the side of the truck .. needless to say i didnt grab my phone back off the side of the truck . so now i am phoneless still today.. with non of your information to money gram that money back to you . like i said believe me or not ... ask halfbreed on here if you want becasue i went up to tyler early saturday morning to get a bulldog pup from him at a bay competition . reason i didnt do it that morning is becasue i had plans to meet mr whitten there and i was running late .. I tryed to do it the day before on friday as a matter of fact .. because i remeber i sat at walmart 45 min trying to call you and get your information from you but i got no answer .. so yea .. if you and any other ppl think im trying to **** you over 200$ im not because im not getting that kind of reputation on myself ... now about the dogs .. the july .. REAL DEAL .. the other i told you i had no clue how she was , i know what the july will do and she was well worth the 200.. to you i guess not . and i appologize . i TOLD you where i work , live, told you to get my liscens plate number ect... for no reason .. so when you read this call me at BIGTEX TRAILERS 903 572 0300 ex 2214. and i will happily drive to walmart and wire u your money

Moral of the story; Take a deep breath before you get your panties in a wad.

and to everyone that has read this .. the dog ranged out around 500 most the time with the lead dog .. never struck a hog for me .. honored EVERYONE of my bays .. I never said she can go get it done by herself so dont try and put a bad word out there about me ... i was on about 15 with her , so she was well worth the 200 in my eyes .. so while your mad because something happened to me that i couldnt do nothing about .. to get your money to you .. dont go saying all this CHIT that i didnt say .. i told you exasctly what the dog was about and what she would do . and when u asked me if they where trash broke ... i told you i had no idea about the one dog but the july would run a deer .. jus trying to get everything becasue i dont want to seem like another crooked guy on this website

And the ones that do, ask them how many help dogs they bred to get it that way...  ;)

Take this crap up in private.....!!! that is why the dog trade does not allow replys.!!
