My buddy up in Arkansas had two bird dog crosses that I got from him yr before last... They were crossed with walker..   Even though they are two brothers out the same litter,, they were night and day different.  One was way hyper and it took me along time and a lot of shock therapy to make him stop babbling when I cut him loose..it was like he was being paroled from prison everytime...Just running not hunting for the first round...    Now ,, hunt ,, man them two dogs would cover the country,, not stop until they found something to run...   But it took a while to get them focused and trash broke...  I don't personally like a hyper dog,,, I believe they take longer to train and for them to learn how to run a track true...  As far as nose capability they are hot nosed,,, and barely run a track between their legs,, they would rather drift the track and they would loose it more frequent then my plots...  So the plus side to em is they are good hunters,, lots of drive and will cover ground.  But to me,, they bay too tight and press hogs that would in other cases bay for my hounds.    I ended up not hunting them together after the first 6 months of hunting them....  Now with them separated and hunting together with my hounds ,, they add a little speed to the track and too me,, press my hounds in some cases to push the track alittle faster ... So it helps in certain situations ...  Hope that info helps you


10-4 thanks for the info are they tight bayed since u split them up???

No man.  One of the males is loose    The other one kept the same attitude but he lost the babbling habit.
