Heat Cycle’s

I think we are on the same page Reueben, you described a lot of what I like in a pup as well. I haven’t been hunting too much lately, don’t really have much interest until my pups are really going.

My male pup (now around 14 months old) didn’t have success with the semen collection. His sperm count was too low and they couldn’t get much quantity on account of not having a female in heat at the clinic. I have him on some supplements to help now. I decided a few months ago to breed that male to my dog Punk, his half sister. Unfortunately with him being the last living male I’m not putting him in the woods until I can either get his semen frozen or get that breeding accomplished. I have one time just to see how he did but I’m not playing with the fire with him. The pups won’t go to anyone outside of my hunting circle so I’m not concerned about passing out any culls. We have all had the talk that if they aren’t good enough for their yards then they will be culled, no passing around. I would rather come back and cull all of the pups than wish I had them but have that male get killed and then the line be done. At this point I’m just eagerly waiting on punk to come back in heat.

I also have two Parker gyps that I got directly from Mr. Larry that I’m looking forward to starting towards the end of winter/beginning of spring. Other than them being a little timid/shy I really like them around the yard. They are extremely athletic. If my male Leroy ends up making a good dog and produces well on that other litter then I plan to cross him over both Parker gyps (obviously if they prove themselves) and then take those two litters back together so that I’m just using him as an outcross for the Parkers.
