I only found a few full body shots. This is when I first got him at 1 1/2.  Here's a recent one at 5 1/2.

Hey Bryant, to give you a little better size reference on him, my old Blue dog on the left was 70 lbs on the vet scales. I think Clifford has 20 lbs of head!

Thanks for the pics, Mike. He's definately larger than the one I got. I caught three hogs with her yesterday morning. First and last she was locked on the ear...second (and largest) she was on the nose. Second hog we caught was a bruiser. Six dogs cut, two are still at the vet. I will post story later. All three she caught I had to break her off of, so I liked that. I prefer the larger catchdogs and wish she was a little bigger.
What dog is that Chris is holding in the second pic?

Glad to hear she worked out... hope the others pull through. That white dog is Tyson. We think he's AB and some think AB/Pit. My wife's best friend gave me the dog, he was just a yard dog. He's just over a year old and on his way to being a catch dog.

Mike,
Tyson got to catch his second hog! We were in THAT corn field, and the dogs bayed up to the left of the road. Of course, we had Hunter and Lupe there (and jml's dog is rough as well) so the hog was caught before we caught up leading in the bulldogs. Tyson got to go in and catch, and CATCH HE DID! He couldn't figure out how to get over a big log that was blocking him from the bay. Once he figured that out, he got in there and latched on to the ear. He seemed to love it.
He did get a little skinny on me for a while despite a good worming schedule. This time, I used valbazen on him and thanks to three eggs a day, he is really looking better. Those chickens were the best idea! If I have a dog hurt or one that isn't keeping up condition as well as I'd like, I just crack some fresh eggs on their feed at night!

At least I'm successful at doing nothing right. I guess it could be worse.

Tyson is a good looking dog. Sometimes those free ones are hard to beat. Every catch dog one of my hunting partners has owned was a former house dog. They usually come with a pretty good set of manners that way too!
