Thank you
I go hog hunting with Mike and freinds then go run my dogs on wild quail ... I've done this I guess for 3 years now or more . I'm hardly ever home like hog dogs it takes a lot of birds to make a bird dog and they ain't gonna learn anything in their kennels
It's nice to see my efforts pay off when I win , but honestly I just love running them by myself
I thought I'd update that ..
There sure is a lot of nice young dogs on this ., wonder if any others turned out
Chris,
You ever use any of them bird dogs on hogs? Thats about all I run. Every track dog I have except for one is at least 1/2 bird.
No sir.. I've heard of some people having success at it .
Curious What would you say in general bird dogs add to your hog dogs ?
ThankS
Aw man theres a lot I like about bird dogs. Stamina, high prey drive, Bottom, Gritty, and a good nose to boot. They actually bay very well to. Mine will bay anything over 100-120lbs, but will eat ones arse up to get him stopped. My 2 best dogs are 3/4 bird, and I have a full blooded 2 year old that is about to take over.
I know some lines don't turn out well, but between me and my buddy we've had pretty good luck with high percentages of our pups making hog dogs. Ours will put their nose down and grind out a track though, where some birddogs want to run with their head up the whole time winding.
I don't think you'd be disappointed if you tried one.
