Happy new year, may your hunts be successful and you and your dogs stay healthy. A few more weeks and I will be breathing that Texas air again.

Good stuff coming here. I have never had the same same luck on a 2nd cross of the same dogs as the first. It has baffled me for years. But I dont breed a lot and when I do the dogs are usually pretty older by the second cross. that may make a difference.

I am right with you Cajun....if a dog cant do it solo, I dont have a use for it. To me that is where the bar is set.

There is nobody and I mean nobody that has a 100% turnout ratio. To me tho the results are more predictable in a established line of dogs.  Just like Tdogs friend who said he probably would have never bred that gyp but then due to a accidental breeding, he found out what kind of producer she was. I have had a few gyps that have produced way better then what they are. I can give you a example: I have a dog named Yellow.  Let's just call him a good journeyman dog. He should have been a really fast dog but just came out with average speed. He did have a really good nose and a abundance of grit. He can go out and get the job done and needs no help but he kind of sits in the shadow of Showtimes, Hank, Amber or a couple others I can name. Those dogs were just in another class. That being said I bred him to a female that was a pretty good dog but she lacked a little grit. Those pups came out the real deal which two of them were Oak and Cypress.  The  main thing that has worked for me is only breeding dogs that can do it by there self. We as hog hunters have to many split races and if a dog will not run and bay his own hog, he has no business being in the gene pool.

 
  The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department proposes new 31 TAC §65.908, concerning Field Trial Permit. The proposed new rule would implement provisions required or authorized under Senate Bill 2801, enacted during the Regular Session of the 89th Texas Legislature, which amended the Parks and Wildlife Code by adding new Chapter 43, Subchapter J, to create a field trial permit allowing the pursuit of squirrels, furbearing animals, and nongame wildlife on privately owned land or public lands identified by commission rule. The fee for the permit is fixed by statute at $50.

Tdog isn’t advanced! He’s been lucky!!! Cajun on the other hand, he’s the professor. You know what they say, everybody wants to be like Mike.

I think the size of your program and your outlet for puppies has to play a role in your breeding strategies. I watched an interview with Dan Braman and he had an accidental breeding. The pups are outstanding according to him so he had to DNA all his male dogs to figure out which dog was the sire so he could do a repeat breeding lol. He said the male he would’ve eventually bred but not the female more than likely. Now that she produced some all stars he’s changed his mind I guess. Just goes to show what nature knows I guess.

I try to keep them clean year round. I had a gyp once that wouldn’t ever take. I wasn’t hunting her because I didn’t want to chance losing her before I got pups out of her. Took her and had her checked by a vet and he said he didn’t see anything that was wrong with her. The studs I tried her with both produced before and after trying her. She wasn’t couch potato fat but heavier than you would want to hunt her. An old man said to pull her down to a hunting weight and see what happened. Like magic she took. I should’ve kept her fat! I give 1cc of Ivomec (under the skin) to a 45-50 pound gyp 2 weeks into her pregnancy and again 2 weeks before whelping. This was what my greyhound buddy and his veterinarian partner figured out with the greyhounds except they did 2cc on the greyhound gyps. I try to put weight on my females starting a couple weeks after I have them bred. I continue to feed soaked feed too. I will likely always feed soaked feed to all my dogs. I believe it makes a difference.

What do yall do if anything special with a gyp that you are planning on breeding? I like to have a little extra weight on gyp that I am planning on breeding when she starts coming in I will give her a 10n1 shot and worm her good have had pretty good luck with this I have a cur gyp put up right now waiting on her to come in to breed just wondering what everybody else does if anything to breed a gyp

I have known some people if they make a cross and it works good they will make it every chance they get i believe for sure that every time they make cross they turn out different then I have known people who very rarely make the same cross twice I am more on board with this group because not being able to keep a big number of dogs and not hunting as hard as I use to  you get in corner real quick on your breeding program thats just my opinion and I am not nearly as advanced in breeding and stuff as cajun and tdog is just my thoughts
