One of the first dogs I had purchased was a airdale cur thatd hunt the number 2 out of 20 yards most aggravating thing ever trying to hear. I've had a few since then. Finally just decided to stop buying dogs. One year old that I own that seems to be a exception to the crazy busy dog on a chain is a english pointer I call lefty. Pain in the ass to give shots,vest, anything to touch him lol.. I had to finally put him in a kennel because the 15 foot chain was enough for him to stay busy all day long and looked pretty thin.. He has the hunt and I'm probably really holding him back be ause every time he's seen a hog he's caught it and I'm starting to find out bird dogs don't hold together like a cur or walker. When we're trying to get out of the woods and it's 3am he's starting to get really good about disappearing and being 500 yards out with me not paying attention. Also he's really independent so it's been hard getting him on hogs. Almost don't want to bring him around my hound buddies anymore lol just for the fact were walk hunting and it'll take me to long to back him or the other dogs up. My two dogs ranger and slick when they come out of the barrel they stretch like a cat and will come wait they may act excited but they're pretty cool especially my bulldogs. My favorite cd willow is fat and her whole body just shakesand she squeels when she's excited. Oddly enough the pit cur I bred a few years ago is pretty intense in a kennel.shes always barking at what's out of it and jumping around pretty tight on a hog seems to got a nose. when we walk hunt it's starting to seem like she's the dog that's with us. Idk if it's because of the breeding with the mom being willow which is who is no athlete or what because the dad is ranger. Or it may be because I gave her to a guy that didn't hunt her and I got her back at 2.5. I've seen her cast hunt just fine quiet a few times but I guess we will see because she's the only offspring of ranger I have right now. The young stag I have is kinda intense but I think it's because they're sighthounds the older ones kinda prance around but when it's time to vest up they're cool as a cucumber but let something get there attention they're gone. I guess it all boils down to too much or too less of anything it'll never be perfect. I cannot wait to be that good at fine tuning.
