Kerrey truth is 9 out of ten strait stags won't catch and are like gritty curs. Chad has a great dog from great lines but on average it takes going through a couple dogs to get a consistent line nailed down.
Thanks for the compliment on this dog. I have no idea on his breeding (although I have tried to find some good info). I really have no experience with any other Stags but I have heard a lot of stories about Stags not being as "hard, if ya will" as this one... Judging from my last cross this adage may be true. Keep in mind the mother of this litter ended up being a cull. Out of four pups only one of them caught and had the temperament I liked (I gave one to an "ex" friend and judging from the videos I've seen on FB, she's a cull in my book). My recent cross is from a proven gyp so hopefully I end up with more than one decent pup...
I really don't want a pure pit I know they work great I've had some good ones... I usually cut from 100-200 depending on what's going on but I want something I can cut loose in a field ... Yesterday for instance we had a hog run right by the truck with the strike dogs in his butt I sent my cd right away and we got out run... Not mad at my dogs it happens my cd is up in age
Different strokes for different folks but I like to come in as soon as my catch dogs hit in order to minimize possible damage by a good hog.
I will say this... In the daylight I can't remember ever getting "out ran" after I released the Stag. The bay might break or he misses but the race is VERY short. Now night time is a different story. He will come back if the bay breaks.
