Title: Young guns
Post by: Cajun on January 03, 2023, 08:39:24 pm
Have high hopes for these two. Closing in on a year and doing everything right. They need to back up a little on the baying but showing good trailing skills and speed. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230104/7608889e445926ac19768153d07c6304.jpg)

I sure like the looks of the gyp! But maybe I’m just a sucker for brindle dogs

Man those are really good looking hounds Cajun. I’d feed both of them but if I got to choose I think ole Tracker would be my pick. Are either of them kin to my dogs lol?

 Are they bred the same or were you trying to get something different with those two litters?

Something else I’ve wondered, with you having several dogs, do you hunt them according to sex or do you mix males and females when you hunt?

Good looking young dogs Mike, that female has a loud brindle pattern, almost leopard looking. Glad they are doing a real good job.

Both dogs are related top and bottom. Tracker is off Captain x Trumpet.  Showgirl is off Showtime x Auburn.  Showgirl from the time she was 4 1/2 months old could trail the hog up in my 25 acre pen no matter what time of the day. It is a very thick pen and I have had people with grown dogs that could not find the hog. Tracker can do it but has to work harder and probably not quite as coldnose. Both have more grit then they need. Jack is the great grandsire of Showgirl and the Grandsire of Tracker. Auburna and Captain are 1/2 mates off of my Brandy female who I got back from Josh Free.  I like them both pretty well.  I dont hunt accordinly to sex, I'll put both out there but I crate all my male dogs on one side of the box and my females on the other side if possible just to avoid a accident in case I miss a female in heat. Sometimes they are all crammed in together.

Thanks everybody for the kind words.

Makes sense to me. They are both lookers. He looks really tight made to me and cat footed. I like the color of both. She looks like she would be quick and a sprinter. Her side profile is very nice with that deep chest and high flank. Being able to get it done that early is real impressive. I like the early starters myself. Sometimes they peak early and the ones that didn’t start quite as early finish out to be better dogs. As long as you’ve been messing with these particular dogs I’m sure you know exactly what you’ve got in each prospect. I’m impressed for sure.

Really nice looking youngins. Do you typically cast or track hunt with your dogs?

  We cast, rig, or track hunt. The only thing we do not do is walk hunt. The only walking we do is when we are going to a bay or catch.

What kind of time frame do you expect your dogs to be able to take a track after it’s been laid?

If you are asking how cold a track they can take it varys with conditions. That being said by the time they are 8 or 9 months old I can dump them in fresh sign and they will try their best to trail it up. They might not get it lined out or they might trash on something hotter but they will be trying to get after something.

Cajun, yes I was referring to how cold of a track. I was just curious what kind of nose the hounds have
