My name is Joey Young and I am 34 years old. I work in the Oil business, but spend more time with the dogs, or at least it seems that way. Been raised with bulldogs and Dobermans since I was born until I was old enough to raise my own dogs. Been raising hog dogs for over 10 years and still learning something about the dogs or hogs on almost every hunt, if not every hunt. My philosiphy on hog dogs is that you have to evolve with the hogs and never have a closed mind about crosses or other breeds until you have tried or hunted with a decent example of the breed.
My different ways of hog hunting transportation includes most everything (Walking, buggies, truck, boat, horses, etc.)
I hunt pretty much cur crosses that are linebred out(bmc, mt. cur, catahoula, pit, walker, and bluetick). Still crossing dogs to reach a goal. Some of the purebreds that I hunt are BMC, Jagd, Plott, Drathaar, Pitbull, and American Bulldog. Dont know how many for sure but that is probally for the best. I hunt with a select group and every now and then I will hunt socially, but I am in the woods to work dogs and you got to catch hogs to work them for the most part. Not to mention it is what the landowners want as well. My favorite breed of dogs is the Blue Heeler and they got me started in the stock dog world when I graduated highschool. I also enjoy working bulldogs in protection work and begining to dabble with the bird dog training as well. All of this dog work is shared with my beautiful girlfriend and her two boys, which is a blessing.
That is it in a nutshell, hope I didnt leave anything out.
