My buddy is goin this weekend to try some out he's getting back into hog hunting how are the 3 you got were suppose to go sat to hunt with him

disappointed

Why are you disappointed? Did you go hunt with the dogs before you bought them?

Dogs are funny animals most people say that right fast and don't let the dog get his chance to show his true self. But then again lot of junk out there to good luck on them my friend

I'm in the process of warming one up to me and my pack right now and I knew that it was gonna take some time when I bought him.I saw the dog do some amazing sh@t when I picked him up but he has only had one owner all his life and I believe that they get depressed and miss there yard and people. I've taken him to the woods 2 times and my buddy is talking smack on him because he ain't shining but I saw the dog with his master and I have all the confidence in the world in this dog.Hopefully you saw them hunt and they'll come round don't beat on em let em get to know you and they'll show you what they're made of.

the dog I got from Dan Moody tries hard but has hip dysplasia and can't hunt for no more than an hour and he has a bad limp after that

Could it be an old injury? I got a pup now that hunts hard but after awhile her hip hurts her from where a hog ran her over.

None that I could see..

I don't want to be a smart A$$ but it would be pretty remarkable to be able to diagnose hip dysplasia without being checked by a vet. Also it is highly rare in a working bred dog. It gets weeded out in a dog that hunts hard. It would be more likely that there is an injury. You can't see ligaments and muscles. I also ask, did you see him hunt before you bought him?

No, I didn't see this dog nor the other two hunt beforehand. If I would have I would have realized that these dogs are NOT as described. They will bay, only if you find the hog for them or they can see it in a small pen. 650.00  I paid for buckshot as a dog who can hang in there and has found his own hog.. He might can if he could walk long enough... Hip or old injury..this dog is definitely not what I paid for

I have seen some sure enough good hog dogs not hunt for someone new to them...the more you know about dogs the sooner they will hunt for you...I have seen between 2 and 3 months before a new dog wanted to hunt...once he decided it was on...

I don't  think the dog is pretending to have a hip problems to adviod hunting!   rolleyes

This dog is not hunting because I'm new,,,.. He's not hunting ....because he can't  walk..... In other word's dan moody is a crook

Take him back  ;)

If you are NOT satisfied right now, I doubt your opinion changes, and I doubt you give the dog much chance now. You should be able to tell all you want from a dog after 4-5 hunts max.

Hunt more then 3 or 4 hunts for sure... Dan Moody, was up here in Louisiana this weekend... He wouldn't respond, until he was on his way back....well guess what I told him I have to run right by him in his neck of the woods in Texas for work.... Dan would not make this right nor swap out dogs....

Truly not much hunt in this dog nor the other one either...

No hunt at all!! 200 yards maybe

And after a hour the suppose to.be best one limps... seen it withheld my owns eyes first time he was cut loose.

are these bmc or Catahoula?

We threw them three dogs and a more experienced dog of mine out on fifteen minute track. The only ones that stayed with the track was the more experienced dog of mine an the 200 dollar lill gyp..... the other2 didn't stay in the race 15 to 20 minutes tops a and was back at our feet. This was 6- 25- 15

I have seen one a friend got that was $5k kept him a year never bayed a hog.....

Have his hips rayed, then you'll know for sure if he's displays tic or injured. What'll it cost, 50$? Good luck

My son has talked to him several times about dogs and from what I can gather, he has fenced in places well stocked with good hogs. From the videos I've seen, he drives around in wide open places 'till the dogs stumble on to a hog. Most dogs I've seen hunted that way don't know how to hunt.

Some mistakes cost more than others; I'm sure you learned from this one.  Seems like you got bucked out of the saddle early- dust yourself off, get straight and saddle up again....and don't make the same mistake twice.

Don't feel like you are the only one, we've all been there man.  Life isn't about the mistakes you make, it is the lessons you learned from the mistake made.

In years past I have seen large packs of dogs and the owner would talk about how good his dogs were because they caught a lot of pork...but maybe 2 or 3 dogs were what I called hog dogs...the rest were me too dogs that will run all day with the strike dogs and will stop or catch a hog...but take the strike dogs out and the other 6 or seven dogs might catch a hog if they stumble across one...

there actually are folks out there that have this mentality...so it might be their opinion and belief that they are selling you a good dog...

other times what someone breeds as a good hog dog others will cull it no matter how good...some reasons are the dog barks on track or is too long range etc...etc...

I ain't making the assumption that the guy ripped you off. Maybe he did, maybe he ddidn't.  I don't know the man or the caliber of his dogs, but like the above post said. If you get bucked off try again until you get a good ride in. And you damn sure ain't the only one that has paid good money for some pot lickers. I am very gullible , I have been taken more than once. I finally learned my lesson. I consider myself an honest guy and tend to think the next dog man will be to. But that's hardly ever the case. I've even see some folks in a "sell out" type of situation,  claiming they are done hunting and selling there  personal dogs.  When the truth is , they got trigger happy and bought every 300 dollar "finished" dog they ran across and ended up with 15 dogs that don't know there ass from a hole in the ground.  They call it there pack and sell out for 3,000$ claimimg to be done hunting but the garmin aint for sale. Lol. I do understand taking a chance if it's not local, and you have heard good things from trusted people about the seller. But I've been hit to hard, I won't even do that. But I don't know the circumstances of what you have going on.  I would definitely have the dog X rayed though and maybe the vet can see something you cant. Dogs are funny. I love to hunt hogs. And lots of other critters, but I have a bad knee that gives me trouble sometimes and when it's hurting I won't hunt either..lol. Good luck  to you though and I hope you find something that puts some pork on the table for ya !!!

I've always been told good lessons cost good money but great lessons cost lots

after getting screwed more than a couple of times I do all I can to breed my own...and...I am picky about the looks and size as well...because it costs the same to feed a sorry ugly dog as it does a great looking dog that does a good job...so I prefer the latter...

Dan Moody saw a video I posted , and was ringing my phone off the hook saying he going to fix this...

A lot of people don't understand buying dogs. It's alot more to it than just handing a guy a stack of money and getting a dog and going catch hogs, especially dogs that come from different states. A dog that's been hunted in a pen its whole life is going to be awole different dog when it gets dropped in the marsh or a whole different terrain. A lot of dogs that's been hunted in open land don't know how to swim across the river and keep on track like a dog thats been hunted around rivers its whole life. And don't dan moody hunt for a living. Him selling a hog dog would be like a welder selling his welding truck. It just don't make sense, and you can remember anyone that's hunting is not going to sell a dog worth a quarter.

I live over here in bama and for some reason people from here like buying dogs from Texas and I haven't seen but 1 I liked and he was high dollar and loved a deer way more than a hog, all the others when they let them loose they was badly confused lol and most people were very dissapointed. I'm just saying before you hand a person some money you need to see the dog hunt on your places. If they don't want to bring it don't buy it, it's dogs for sale everyday, whether their good or not is what you have to find out

I don't get why people think they have to go cross country to get a dog. There are good dog close to every one that has hogs in there area

There are two common points of view when I read these comments.   The first is "give him a little time, new place, dog needs to adjust to new owner/hunting area."    The other is "oh well, you got screwed, no big deal you live and you learn."

No call me old fashion but both these ideals are BULLnumber 2!   First and formost if the dogs were hog dogs they won't need any adjustment period, a hog smell the same anywhere in the country and I have never see much of a dog that couldn't travel and bay hogs.

Second if this guy screwed someone its not just a learning curve and go about your business.   I see this Moody guys name everwhere and from what I can tell he sells a lot of dogs and he knew damn good and well what he was selling.    I would go see Mr. Moody and we would get a deal worked out.   

I work hard for my money and I don't screw folks so folks aren't gonna screw me.    Good luck J.HODGES

I think that with most outfitters....everything is for sale...

This is one of main reasons I don't buy hog dogs. All but one of my dogs were free and only paid 75$ for only one I paid money for. Mine aren't the greatest but I am feeding 7 right now and everyone can get the job done on their own. Some are just better at it then others. One thing I see wth buying a supposedly finished hog dog is that someone will go pay big money and bring the dog home take it hunting very next day with all his buddies and all his buddies dogs and be very disappointed when the dog doesn't do well. Then immediatly want to take it back. Sometimes it might take a good dog several months and countless hunts to be back to its normal self

Dan Moody The hog dog Crook: https://youtu.be/UBCR2tl4jkg Dan Moody is a crook

Might I ask what you paid for the dog and did he take it back. Price shouldn't have much to do with the mans  integrity but it might with the dogs worth

X2 on Oconees post.Go make him make it right.

A man with no integrity will never make it right

Apparently my ideal of "making it right" and yours is totally different Judge!   Mr. Moody's integrity would have NOTHING to do with me making it right with him when I got my hands on him.   Some of us broke rednecks work harder for our money than others I guess.    He might skin my head but he'd know I was unhappy with his dog tradin when we were done.

You're right Judge a man with no integrity wont make it right .That is what's wrong with people today they think that they can screw over whoever they want without consequences. A good old ass whippin will make them think twice the next time they go to screwin someone over.Might not get your money back but sure makes you feel better knowing he's eatin soup.

That makes me laugh oconee. Most every one works hard for there money. If a person gets screwed over most times it's due to a lack of judgement at that moment. Now if the man don't make it right then good luck. I come from a pretty rough family and have busted heads open and had mine busted but I ain't seen many people go to a mans house and whoop them they usaly end up stabbed beaten or shot. But I guess if you work hard for your money you fight harder to lmao

one thing is for sure, i going to get my hands on Dan Moodys neck... I worked to hard for that lil bit of cash and him do it me. dan was up my way last week.. didnt tell me till he left...he was and never is going to fix this... but i will fix that peace of number 2

I know it happens all the time but it's just hard for me to believe someone
would allow a man to there house and purposely rip them off. Some people might come back in the night time and get even. I wouldn't but some would. i wouldnt be able to sleep knowing i burned a fella, let alone if he knew where i lived.

Not the 1st Dan Moody peeled... 100% joke runs around hunting in a pen then acting like a hoghunter. HODGES will show up at his home and correct him. Dan will never hold a leash again. Trust me

J.hodges I been down that road fella its a long dusty one with no winners. If you think popping him around will get you some where by all means do what you got to do. But most of the time the good guy gets screwed when he gets his hands dirty. Just member it ain't 1968 any more

Folks I know j hodges personally, he's no new comer to the dog world I assure you, he's a well known fella in the bulldog business so it wasn't like he did it to himself, he looks to have been conned by a pro.......as far as making it right and getting rough, I'd be willing to bet my family farm that if Dan moody ever runs into him, he would've rather been locked butt naked in a telephone booth with a bobcat with chuck Norris helping the cat than to have Jessie coming after him, professional fighter/ trainer who also happens to be an honest hardworking country boy spells disaster.

This... You go to a mans home/property with violence in mind....chances are,  it aint gonna end up good for you. Doesn't matter if an ass whoopin' is justfied or not.

My buddy got a gyp from him 1500 cash finished trash broke bad ass dog well in two weeks never left our side chased deer and rabbits and wouldn't get on hogs my dogs were on he got his money back but had to go sit at his house and wait for him he tried to pawn another dog off my buddy said hell na I want my money he got it and left his dogs are pen dogs he buys hogs throws them in a big pen and throws dogs in there after them

Dam..... this number 2 more entertaining than fox news....and has just as much crap flinging around

Pit bulldog breeder/professional fighter/trainer type that got swindled by a piece of sh#t dog peddler. Sounds like "tough guy" vs. a##hole contest to me. Nine times out of ten, the a##hole in his own yard with a gun, kills the tough guy dead ;)

Warrant sounds like you been to one of my family reunions lol

bscurdogs are you saying going and comfronting a coward dog jockey face to face, man to man actually works.    By all means I've been reading comment after comment that suggest we should just sit back and let folks screw us.   Good to know since I dissagree I've not lost my mind.

I don't think any one said lay down and take it. But I can say this with fact people that can handle them selfs in a scuffle idly don't just blow up like puffy wheat. The guys that do that are usely putting on a show cuz they know if it gets rough they might get the short end of it. If you corner most people nicely and make them humble them selfs to doing wrong they in most cases will try to do right. But the Fire usely gets fire

as a youngster I went to jail more than a few times...2 weeks in solitary confinement not knowing if it was day or night gave me lots of time to think about life and living...having ADHD and cooped up is tough...

I realized that being confrontational can lead to no good...in a fight one can win or lose...but in reality there are no winners...you can get your butt whipped and still go to jail and if you don't you still got that whupping...or if you win you might go to jail and pay a fine and have it on your record...

it can get out of hand and...there is that possibility someone will pull a gun and kill you or you kill someone...there are not too me things that are worth taking a life for...my children and grandchildren I have tried to raise to abide by the rules and laws as best they can...they understand what could happen and the consequences...

I sure don't mean to be a punching bag or a floor matt to be walked on...but most of the time things can be worked out...

when you get to the point of breeding your own dogs then you can be feeling better about what you keep in your yard...

Ain't that the truth.

I belive wrongs should be righted in every case if possible. And I also think some of the folks on here may be trying to look out for the good guy in the situation.  By stating the fact that this man would do what most other men would do if somebody showed up at there house getting rowdy and aggressive , "say hello to my little friend". It ain't worth dying over. And I ain't saying you couldn't show up and whip the fella, but it ain't worth going to jail over either.

His website is a joke I saw every dog in his kennel and only two I can say were there the rest he's been buying and selling cheap trying to make money screwing people hell his hog heads in the house he admitted he bought give him a few budweisers and the truth comes out

My ? Is if the guy is such a joke why are your buddy's buying dogs from him then crying. this whole thing sounds fishy. This is day one stuff a smart kid knows better than this stuff.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We didn't realize till we hunted the dog that he was a joke and my buddy wanted the best dog money could buy in a hurry he knows now see the dog work first and get a dog local

I see lesson learned I guess I got a top dog for sale 3500 bucks


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea buying a dog in a hurry is a bad mistake. It's a few good dogs for sale you just have to be patient and you will eventually find exactly what you are looking for. I'm going to say it was just a expensive lesson learned for the guy that bought the dog. And what's bad im sure most everybody commenting has been through the exact same thing, I know I have been beat on dogs before but life goes on. I would never go to mans house to solve a problem and I don't expect any one to come to mine, just for the fact I have wife and kids and I don't want them caught in the middle of what might go down.

I bought a dog one time several years ago I was still in my teens didn't have a lot of money then and don't now but I was poor then lol. I found him on baydog.com the add said something like the real deal hog dog best money can buy and he was 1600$ I had been saving my money along time incase I found a dog that was great. Well i was home sick with the flue when I called the guy and told him I was on my way, 6 hours later I got the dog and was headed back and made plans to hunt the next day even as sick as i was. I was excited I was in business now I had a high dollar dog. We took him and 2 young dogs about 10 months old. The first track we seen was a stud I knew he could smell it i let him out solo and he milled around and come back. We let them two pups out to number 2 right there and it wasn't long they had him bayed. I give the dog the benefit of the doubt and let him out again and  the pups. The pups ended up baying another hog and we got close the new dog ran in there and caught like a bulldog haha. Needless to say he wasn't worth a quarter. I called the fellow when I got back home and we talked he asked me to hunt him a few more times and see. I did and he was just a muffler sniffing close range run in and catch type dog. He wanted the dog to get cut up so he'd have my money is what I think. Anyway I cancled the check on the guy and he wouldn't meet me to get the dog back. I kept him all summer then out of the blue he called me and told me he wanted him back and he would not meet me half way. I told the fellow i was tying the dog to a stop sign at a bass pro shop that was half way he could get him or not. He come got the dog but we had several words over the phone about this dog. But it's happen to most people that deal with dogs and its definetly not worth going to jail or getting killed over. Good luck with whatever you decide to do

Judge your lucky I'm a poor man, If I had $3500 I'd buy that dog.    Lol

Lol we both know better than that but why would I be lucky

I saw this post and thought I was gonna read about some good dogs I have watched a couple of them Moody hog hunting videos I never knew he hunted in a fence. I hate you got screwed like that like many here have stated I too have been burned . I recon he sold you a cull and knew it if I sell a dog I know what he is and aint and am honest about it for $650 you should have at least got a dog that was trying to hunt not lame from what I gather Dan makes his living hunting, and doing business like this must be bad on his reputation I hope he makes it rite. I would call him until he answered and tell him im bringing the dog home and have my money if he made excuses about not being around I will just tell him that be ok I would just put the dog in his kennel and take something of equal value bet he would make it priority to meet you. I only buy pups off good dogs I have hunted with in all these years I have only been able to buy 1 jam up finished dog and I knew the dog was good when I bought it and I have seen a few good dogs and laid good money on the dog box trying to buy a few of these and was turned down. My honest opinion is the only way your gonna get a man to part with a jam up dog is (A) pay more than the dogs worth to said man (B) Said man is in bind and his hunting buddies are broke and cant buy the dog (C) buy a pup that has potential to be that dog .

Its been about 26 days from the first post.  Have you returned the dog and got your money back or "made things right" in your mind?  If not, I would say it is too late and lots of talk on here for nothing.

No, Dan Moody will NOT fix this.. we will catch him a uncle Earle or something... here is the 2nd he said hunts and finds his own hogs...  Dan Moody IS a thief

https://youtu.be/SF20y3yySRU

I SPENT 1400

1400 On 3 dogs... 1 good bitch, sister...You all saw that video... And buckshot who was said to be DAMN good (dig can run at all.... And a puppy...the pup out does em all... there all culled now... now I will cull Dan Moody

Man that's a lot of cash I can't member the last time I had that much cash and could spend it lol


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's definitely not right that he won't make it right but you can't really expect to get 2 strike dogs and a pup for $1400 maybe one good strike dog for that but a real deal dog if you find one ain't cheap unless the person don't know what they have.

Ya that's why I raise my own. I understand some fellas ain't got the time to do it. But I hear bout dogs selling for 1500 to 3000 all the time I could never pay that. But as long as people can pay that price for a good dog it will demand that price regardless breed or who has it.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i wouldnt pay 3000 for a dog like everyone elses but i would if he was the type dog that when you went with other people theyd just put theirs back in the box cause they looked like culls compared to him and didnt anyone even want to come along unless you had that dog with you. a dog like that is worth 3000 to me. just a dog that will run up on a hog in a field and bark a lttle and come back after a mile or so is not

Dang I guess ol oconee was right I am a lucky man lol

Did y'all cull ol Dan yet

Anything ever come of Moory situation?

Dan, is suppose to give me my money back this month...we will see

He's gonna give you money back on a dog you culled?

Lol I just read that this cracks me up I use to sale fruit on the side of the road when times where lean every other day some one would stop and say hey I got some stuff the other day and it wasn't no good. I would say we'll bring it back to me and if is what I was selling then I will replace. No one ever brought it back lol.  If you culled them imo you are not entitled to any thing other than have a nice day
