I think there are people who do it because they cant keep the hogs bayed or from breaking, but I personally perfer a rcd because even though I use mine as a lead in cd I like the diversity of a cd with good lungs and leg on him/her. When we have more than one cd and the right mix of dogs on the ground we cut them loose from 500 to 1,000yds out sometimes. Or like the other night the curs were split bayed after we got to the closer hog the bulldog broke loose and headed to the other dogs and it was 45 min until we could get there, alot of dogs would have heat stroked out by that time but my partners dogo was locked on no problem, walking back to the truck after that he was running around like a pup burning off energy.... so even though its rare it is handy to have the advantage when needed.

The easiest way is if your dogs hunting buddy (dog he likes to hunt with) does it. Thats what i have noticed, let your pack or lead dog teach the young dogs b/c I am not talented enough of a dog trainer to teach commands like that. Be pat. they seem to figure out that kind of stuff around 2 yoa once they hunt with other dogs that do it for sure.

Thats great when the curs hunt that hard, always makes us proud! Good to hear.

The whole 1 year of a dog equals 7 human years is a myth.  If you are supposed to wait for a gyps second cycle to breed her that is acceptable.  It would put her at about 1.5 years, so that means it would be acceptable for 10 y/o to be having babies.  Thats the way it was put to me and it makes sense.

I think that until around the age of two, the month of a dog is its human yr. For example a 10 month old dog is like a 10 year old kid. JMO

A dog will nver be finishd b/c they can always improve. That said for the sake of selling a dog to me a finished dog I will pay for means a trash broke, hard huntng & consistanly looking for sighn/track to take dog, that once it finds the hog ha the finesse or ability to keep it bayed most of the time! Due to retards trying to sell finished hog dogs that stumble across hogs?? Thats what trials and garmins are for inmy opinion.

  Yea i just mean good dogs should be bred, in the end when dogs are more available it keeps every body in a better situation. As rough as these of dogs are it seems yall would want some around.
  But I dont care. after thinking about it there are alot of dogs here in Tx that are short range, real catchy in the right opportuniy (hog smart), and will not quit a track or a hog once they start it....doesnt seem that special. .02

which panacur or strongid do you buy?

What are these referring to?? pardon my ignorance.

Thanks for posting this website!!! This healthcare bill is nothing about health care and everything about controlling the masses, and taking away freedom! It will give government 48% controll of the private sector and thats just the beginning since health can be related to every lifestyle choice. The Gov. uses any crisis to offer protection at the price of our Freedom, most crisis' of which they caused like the housing bubble they now controll, after they pass this bill the u.s. dollar is the next bubble they are after. Watch or listen to Glen Beck!

I FOR GOT TO MENTION THAT I CARRY A AIR COMPRESSOR FOR THE ONES THAT DONT HAVE BIG TEETH AN PLUG IN THERE BUTT AND BLOW THEM UP AND MAKE THEM LOK BIGGER

Little man syndrome, 

Any old ranchers I have talked to say they don't sell dogs. If somebody needs one they give them one if they have it to spare. If someone from one ranch is down on dogs they get them from another. I have got several dogs in the past from Judge Platt he never charged me a dime and knew I used them to hunt hogs. The line  dogs we use now we have been using for years. We keep them between our hunting buds.

Job well done...I wish I had your job sometimes...move deeer then hunt!

you should get him if for nothing else just to breed him to a dogo pit or cur, if you could get the size down a bit and priced right the pups would sell quick and make some good cd's and guard dogs. .02

a lot of em are open on track............ i'd imagine that's the biggest strike against them.

This post SUCKS, dot get me wrong it is great info. BUT I can't buy one of these dogs and I want one bad!! You Florida guys cant even get one much less us Texas boys. I want one!

Nice...now thats what a caught hog looks like! Glad to see coco got some good woods time I know she loves it!

pm hog stalker or muleman there pups are out of great catching ab's-- real solidgers  I think there are 2 left you could choose from, you could probably pick one they will keep the other. You can see the mom catchng on my video under dogs on hogs on the second page its called pup hunt or something. the dad is a bigger dog.

my dogs arnt ruff they just know how to work a hog the only time my dogs will get a hold of a hog is if he trys to break . he got a bad problem then he is not goin to hav any nuts left my dogs will hit one spin them and bay the hell out of it there not very many will break a bay after my pack bays it

Thats good to know thats my favorite style of cur to hunt with! Do they catch when you get there, or how do you seal the deal?? cd, gun, or curs catch on command or when you are close?

I have hunted quite a bit in Paris, it is hog central! That will be a good spot as long as all the local hunters dont run it out there are alot of doggers in the area, I like most of them i have met. Get to that spot asap you will have a great hunt!

The fact that you have a pack of rough dogs dont run a cd and catch hogs like that on a regular basis without getting dogs cut down every hunt and laid up for wks amazes and impresses me! Good job as you know,,this lets me know I still have not seen it all and still have alot to learn.

I have been on diamond high energy and star pro 24/20 over the past yr since i lost my good dog food connection and could tell the dogs needed more food and had loose stools..I just switched to sport mix the dogs love it and i am cleaning my kennels with a pitching wedge instead of a water hose!!
