Just a learning topic.

Im in Southern AR briar patches, cutovers, pine thickets & creeks make up where we hunt the most , all my dogs are mixed hound and cur heavy on the hound mix includes Catahoula, Blue tick, Cat, Bmc, Plott they are breed off good dogs I never cared much what there breed was if it was a standard poodle and was a good hog dog I would consider it.
I started off with close range curs and they really weren't working for me when I moved here I was looking for more range. A friend of mine gave me a little Cat hound cross as a pup and man I liked that dog he was all I wanted all business if you saw him he was working I called him my bush beater and I breed him to 3 gyps and thats what ive been hunting. I have and old gyp that originally came from TexasHogsDogs and was past around a little here and she is a good dog old when I got her but still hunting I mainly bought her to breed my male to I got 3 pups off her and that was a chore time will tell where I end up with them.
