Waylon, do you have a picture of him and what kind of dog was he as well, I used to never try to tell anybody stuff like this because they would not beleive it, but i just did it myself, thanks for posting up, I had about 3 or 4 rat terriers that were the same way, one was great at finding dead hogs or coon or bobcat trees from the foxhounds who did not stay treed very long if the tree was really high. We also had thousands of javelinas at one time as well and they were horrible about getting in a tinhorn or cave or some kind of hollow tree and butchering dogs up really bad that you could not hear them due to being underground or in a log, the terriers would take us back to a log full of curs pit/cross's and 20 javilainsslol Good ole Days, thanks for your post up as well.
He is stock bred cur dog, still alive but around 17 years old and we dont hunt him any more. Comes from an old line of Cur dogs from Grimes County.
