A while back a guy we hunted with had a gyp he called toodleoo. This was a one man dog if I ever saw one. She was a dang nice hog dog and he had sold her multiple times and every time she got returned one way or another because they could not handle the dog or get her back after a hunt. One time a guy he sold her to made the mistake of hunting too close to the original owners house and she wanted to go home so she just made a bee-line for the house and made it there by noon. Another time we were hunting on the Brazos and Dad and I were on the west bank and this guy and some more of his family were hunting on the East bank. This way if either groups dogs crossed the river we could recover each others dogs. Well the dogs ended up swapping sides and when it was all said and done he was still looking for toodleoo. Well we happened allong her coming down a road going east but still a good ways from the river so we were gonna pick her up and tote her to the river so he could call her across but she did'nt want anything to do with us.......just turned off the road at a 90 went about 40 yards, kept going past us then turned another 90 untill she got back on the road and never broke a stride just kept going back to the truck she got turned loose from. We still laugh about that till today. Any one else have any stories about one man dogs.

I love a dog that honors one man all mine do.All my dogs will bite you if they don't know you.I have alot of hunters who love my dogs but I never get rid of a finshed dog because no one would like them they want hunt for them.One time my dogs were baying a hog and I was still tieing a big barr and I told the rest of the crew to go to the dogs there were two big barrs.they got to the dogs and one of them said scream catch that the dogs always catch for him they would not catch that hog. when I got to the bay I screamed for all the dogs to catch all caught him like pro's one of the guy's said why did they catch for you and not us I just joking said them dogs no I ain't scared of know hog I think they doubt you.No they only handle for me.Know I have kids and my dogs think they need to handle for my kids and I'm in trouble.Some of my stock dog's run loose most of the time some people say ain't you worried about someone stealing them I say first off they are getting bit second off they will bring thim back because they want work for them.

I like a one man dog.Most of mine are that type.SilvertonBoardogs said one time "pet your own dog and kick everybody elses''.I thought that was a fine way to put things.Thats the way most the old fellers here were about their dogs.The way I was taught.Hard to beat a one man dog.

Yes, that is correct, and more specific than what I said. But not too many folks know where Roans Prarie is, or Iola for that matter. |
