There is a guy here in hico according to him it depends on which breed they take after as far as hunting but are close range as a rule of thumb. Talked to him a couple times and every time he says he wants to try a couple on hogs but we haven't done it yet. He says for his dogs they are pretty rough and I think his have some bull blood somehwere they are some bull headed dang dogs but look nice as can be. I have never seen them work personally but have probably talked to him for 2 hours or more.
That bull headedness is supposedly from the kelpie.
Hey Chris, that's a breeding I'd love to keep track of. I don't have the foggiest notion how they'd be either, but I would really like to hear about how they progress from time to time.
Also, love that picture every time you post it. She's a beauty.
