Perfect opportunity

Lol that’s funny Cajun. It’s really honest too. You mentioned that you had three litters out of the same stud, this pup of Highwater’s being out of one of those. You said that your full sibling is also pretty salty. Are the pups from the other two litters as salty? Are the gyps they are out of different as far as grit?

  The littermate I have to Highwater's pup is pretty gritty and has been cut up a few times already. He has learned to back up on a big hog tho.Those two are out of my Showgirl female. I just consider her average gritty. She will bite one to stop it and back up and bay. she will latch on tho when the bulldog hits. I have a female pup that I call Sassy. She is out of my Trumpet dog. Trumpet is the grittiest Plott on my yard. The only way I have seen her bay is by her self in a thicket. She is almost catchdog rough. She really has thrown nice dogs. My Yellow dog and Tracker are both out of her from different sires. Anyway Sassy is wound about as tight as they come and she really has the grit. My third pup I call Rip. he is out of Auburn. He started out gritty but a couple of minor gashes and he bays nice. The two males have already figured out the relay game and the littermate to Highwaters pup has relayed out twice and caught his own, They were not big, a 15# pig and a 40 # pig but for a 9 month pup, that's not to shabby. Sassy has not figured out that part yet and you just about have to use a break stick to get her off.  All three will go hunting on there own. Still have some trash problems to work out but they will get it.

Sounds like they are all being the way they were bred to be. The more they want to bite the longer it takes to figure out the relaying aspect a lot of times it seems. They are so focused on that particular hog that they aren’t thinking about or paying attention to anything else. My dogs relay pretty quick, sometimes Ava will leave too soon in my opinion. Like the second she sees me she leaves not the second I have the hog under control. It’s ok if the bulldog has something else helping but not if she’s his only help. I like to have to dig those back legs out from under them. It’s easier on me and the catch dog. I try pretty hard when I have those grittier types to assign them to the people hunting with me that whoever doesn’t leg the hog, that the next person should get that pup off first and get it back away from the hog and try and send it with the older dogs if possible or in the direction that the older dogs went. If it comes back, I tie it back away from the hog and keep it quiet until they hear the next bay. It doesn’t usually take long to give them the idea that they can hurry and go find another one to bite.
