I decided to go this route a few months ago when I purchase my first puppy, Belle. Good luck...

If you do, call me I want one. Thank you

It depends on what part of your body you use it on. When I used it on my hands it is not bad, when I used it on my face it burns. More nerves in you face than your hands.

When I read the artical today after the church I was amazed to see y'all hunt with my old friend Bob Staton. Good man and a great family friend. Please tell him Tom Chaney said hello. We hunted on his property and buillt the cabin on the river.

No...

Thanks guys, that's the answer I was looking for.....

How many dogs do you need starting out? I have friends that have several that I go with....

What fire dept. Do you work for?

I think I saw the same video, Rowdy has a great nose. I use him for a blood trail dog. I just don't think he is meran enough to take on a big hog....

This afternoon I took my BMC puppy for a walk in the woods, she is 2 months old and mt Golden Retriever Rowdy who is 4the years old for a walk in the woods behind the house. On the way back Rowdy caught a scent and ended up baying about 50 lbs pig. Has anybody ever heard of a retriever baying pigs? My pup was going crazy as well, the retriever ended up catching and killing pig.

Y'all may be changing my mind....

I hunt in East Texas in thick river bottoms and creeks, I will lead him in. I have a pair of cur dogs to stop and bay up. Just need a dog to catch....thank you..

I am interested ing getting a catch dog. Now with that being said, I can not get a Pitt. I have seen to many bad things that breed has done first hand. I am not judging, now what other breeds would be a good choice? Thank you.

Sorry it is in East Texas in Smith county. It is a 5000 acre river bottom.

Is there any hog hunting with dogs on this place?

Ya'll sure are making me feel better of my choice. I had concidered pure bred either Cur or Plott. I decided to go with a cross. Now my next question, at what age do you start training? Bell(the puppy) is 6 weeks old now.

Sure hope so, this is my first hog dog .....

Got and new member to the family. A brindle/yellow 3/4 BMC and 1/4 Plott female. What do you guys think of this mix? Will post pics as soon as my wife shows me how....

What I want is a dog that will bay and keep them in one spot till I get there and let a catch dog lose. What do you think or reccommend me getting?

Well, I am coming from a coon hunting back ground. I ran Treeing Walkers for years and stumbled all around the Sabine River Bottoms. always loved to hear those dogs run.
