Well these pups are the gamiest most need to stop and Bay something pups I have ever raised.They are absolute terrors to my yard dogs they gang up circle nip and Bay like a dang pack of wild dogs and they best not try to run or they really eat them up.So much so that my wife has put her foot down and said they have to go in pens because she's scared they'll hurt her dogs lol.I showed them a pig yesterday for the first time and they instantly took to it.When I put the pig up in the horse stall and went to feed up they dug into the stall and had their way with him I have never seen such driven pups even in bulldogs before each one as much as the other.   Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk Same here…I can’t turn pups out with other dogs…they will chase and bay… pain in the butt…but a good pain…

HOG & DOGS / GENERAL DISCUSSION / Belgium malinois

I mentioned on here a while back that my hunting friend was given a malinois pup…someone on ETHD asked me to give an update…he is a year old now give or take…he just recently got past looking like a pup…about 3 weeks ago we caught 4 and he was there caught when we arrived…nothing to brag about…my buddy works on a big ranch and lives on it…so when he sees a big boar or a big fresh track he’ll go pick up a few dogs and cast them in the hog sign…
This past Monday…he cast the dogs and they bayed in a few minutes…he sent the Malinois Shepherd and within a few the fight was on…it took about two hundred yards before the Malinois Shepherd to finally get control of the boar…my buddy said he had that big toothy boar caught by the ear when he got there…
This morning he caught another boar of the same size…had him by the ear in the Brazos river…they were in the river close to the edge where the Malinois had his feet planted in the river water but was shallow enough to keep the hog anchored for a good while…he never let go until the boar was killed…this pup is showing to be ready smart about catching…he’ll have the ear and his body is up against the boar hog’s body like it should be…
This dog will take a fresh track if allowed…he comes from a working line of dogs and that is all I can say about this young dog other than he looks like he is physically a good representative of the breed…

If this dog was a cull and the only one left from a long line of top dogs I would breed it and move it on to a pet home and take my chances on what’s in the dog, and hope some of the pups will perform like their ancestors…
Normally at 4 or 5 months I will see something I like…at 10 months I need to see progression…at a year if its not on the curve it will be gone…
In my minds eye a pup must be on a learning curve and if it’s not on it I will be concerned…

I don’t keep late starting pups and I don’t train pups to cast and hunt, it must be natural…but I hunt the dogs and pups in a way to bring out their best as often as I can…
Sometimes we are short on good dogs and then we must make exceptions…

I feed sportsmix when they are out it’s running $30-$33 no tax but i hate the fact feeding it knowing it’s been recalled 9+ times.

I fed sportsmix for many years and all of a sudden my dogs lost weight and I had to increase feed…and then several had severe ear infections…I treated for ear mites and no improvement…I swapped feeds and all dogs were doing better after the first week and back to normal after about a month…there wasn’t a recall at that time…

What’s already been said is a good way… I will add a little to what’s been said…
Don’t cast from the road, right away or pipeline etc…instead find that good spot where you think there are hogs in the area or in lot’s of fresh hog sign…come in from the downwind side if at all possible…get in the the hog sign at the edge…cast dogs from that point and encourage the dogs to hunt if needed but give them their chance to cast out…if needed walk in the area to get them going…also if you can only come in from the upwind side go in as far as you can towards the downwind side…this way the dogs have a better chance to locate…
Make your first cast at the most probable place where a hog can be found…you want the dogs to be fresh and raring to go…from kennel to dog box and dog box to casting area…you want the dogs to be fresh out the box and wanting to go…
when roading, always pay attention to the dogs…anytime they get interested in an area wait on them to work until finishing or giving it up before moving on just as you would when casting…this encourages the dogs to work all tracks and not just the hot tracks, sometimes we need to get off the wheelers and help them out a little…it’s all about getting the best out of our dogs and the dogs will learn to give their best when doing it this way…
Some hunters don’t watch their dogs when roading and the dogs learn to only take the hotter tracks because it’s all about the master…

Jsh…my dogs are doing fairly good on the VALU PAK black bag…my 9 week old pups are looking about as good as pups could look feeding them from the black bag…their coats are slick and shiny…
I am now paying $44.59 for a 50# bag…and it is about the cheapest I’ve found for the black bag…
Many say good things about pride dog food and the prices are lower than other comparable dog foods…I would like to try it but we don’t have any vendors that carry it in my area…

Thanks for reading…
