Trenton, Freds toes were amputated because of an infection in his toe. I think it happened when Paul had him. If not then it happened when Jeremy W had him.
Yeah it happened when paul had him, but they only took off two of them... when i hunted with paul and fred we would put a little boot like they use for duck dogs on him and taped it on... i dont remember paul having the other toes removed... He let his buddy scott take Fred and then another on of Pauls friend ended up with him last i knew of.. but i knew he was back up for sale... he just couldnt go very long with the condition his foot was in...
fred did have onlly a few toes removed...he still has to. he doesnt walk on his foot like a normal dog. he kind of stands up on it like on his tip toes. he only has the two outside toes...and hunts really good for no basically no foot. he hunts awhile too...but yeah we do have to wrap it. he is a good dog.
I guess just the way im seeing the picture looks like they are all missing.... yeah there is no doubt that Fred will get gone and find hogs...I never got to hunt with him when he was 100% , but a buddy of mine had him before paul and they said he was hell on wheels..
What we did was wrap it in paper towels or something soft and put the boot on over it, then duct tape it snug so he wouldnt loose it... He would be good to go for a few hours atleast...
Good luck with him, im sure he will find plenty of hogs for yall to post!!!
