What are your dogs missing?

Thanks WOW. I liked Jake’s color, head, straight legs& tight feet. He carried a little too much muscle & was broader chested than the others. He got more of the cat genes I guess. The others were narrow, deep chested lighter framed dogs.

T Dog - I don’t have any of those dogs anymore. my places started shrinking & got too small to hunt those dogs with range & bottom & no brakes. I switched over to the dark side & started hunting these BMCs I hunt now. They fit my country better than those running dog crosses did. Polar opposite style dogs. The BMCs are way better bay dogs. Independent & gritty enough to bay rank boars but have enough stock sense to circle a sounder & not catch out on shoats. Primarily winding dogs that have to learn to trail. Not as durable or heat tolerant as the running dog crosses. Definitely don’t recover as quickly between hunts. A little more up & down performance from drop to drop. I’m only on my second generation right now. Got some breedings planned to go back to an aunt/nephew on the dam side and a half brother, half sister cross to get more of the sires traits. He’s my version of outlaw I’m trying to replicate.

Speaking of hounds, a fella named Mike Kemp out of Oregon had some running walker, treeing walker crosses that had a good reputation for turning out bear, lion, & bobcat hounds. Three Bear Kennels was his line.
