Dixie was the real deal,them kinda dogs dont come two times in life,most hunters hunt all there life and never have this kinda dog in there yard.daddy would say thats a hog dog.
cole...I have had quite a few dogs that were what I considered excellent hog dogs...but I had one that was born great...he showed me some things I had never seen before from a little pup and he only got better as he got older...he seemed to always strike first or was right there with the other dog...but he would make a big circle and be baying the hogs before the other dogs lined the track out...when he got older he slowed down...but if you watched him you would know he still had it...let him out and he would make a circle and he didn't come back in 5 minutes he knew there were hogs there and he would be baying shortly...if he came back you could bet on no hogs...he would stay close and all the dogs would be out hunting...but once he slipped off he might be baying a 1/2 mile or more away and ahead of the other dogs...he made it look easy...honestly I don't think I will ever have another dog like ole yeller...
