? bout rough dogs

[noelle]

how do yall break your dogs from bein extremely rough or is it bred in them and just gotta live with it?

[shankem]

I like em like that; if they don't get whipped out.

[FLBayNSlay]

Im not real sure about this question, Im a firm believer that if a dog is gritty he will stay that way. Sometimes a big Boar hog can break them down a little bit. As far as keeping your puppy from being gritty or trying to catch Ive heard to cut the ears off the hog you use for training. That way they cant try and catch it they just have to bay. Good luck

[Noah]

Mine are perty rough when they start up... the older they get, they tend to bay a little more... more than 2(sometimes even 2) and it's a caught hog no matter the size...

Haven't found a way to back them off yet other than hunting them by themself.

If that doesn't work, they usually make a good catch dog!

I'm talkin bout full Cur dogs catchin the first hog they see at 4-5 mths and bayin once and catching or just catching the rest of their life no matter how bad they get cut, alone or with other dogs, no mAtter how big a hog... I'm thinkin it's just gonna have to try to b bred out cuz this Is normal for the line I run

[skunkhounds]

mine start rough and end up rougher

[Noah]

Yep, I would agree...

You ever tried nubbin' the canines?

[skunkhounds]

no dont want to i like them to catch and hold   lol

[Purebreedcolt]

Ahh just get you a couple more rough dogs and stop chasing hogs lol

[noelle]

Lol ya there all fairly rough and gotta break off most of the time, I like em rough so don't have to chase em as much but I get tired of sewin em up lol I always get sore thumbs. And what's worse I mite only have one make it to see a yr old

[Purebreedcolt]

Good gosh get you some vests and don't start them till a year old let them learn on training hunts and pen how and when to be rough this is my theory and seems to work sometimes lol

[HS]

I dnt mind rough dogs,Ive had them in the past,but I own the best pack of dogs Ive ever had at this moment,and none of them are rough...heck my dogs wont catch anythang over 60 lbs.. the way I see it is I dnt just go hunting to catch pigs,I also go to see my dogs work,ive had my dogs bayin a 100 lb boar for 2 hours with no problem ,while I was sitting on my truck drinkin a few beers...I just wanted to see what kinda bottom they had... but to each his own

Where do I get one of these dogs?

[heavyhitter89]

how is that bob tail male working out for ya

[jdt]

i'd start them young enough on something that they can't handle ... but can't kill them 

[ole shep]

I don't like rough dogs myself . I think they get good dogs killed. That being said. I'm sure a lot will disagree I have seen a elite few that were smart enough to be rough and a few smart enough to run with them.But most have to have help to stay alive they will get cut up and there help will too. That is if they can track one far enough to get out of sight.Now y'all can tell me how wrong I am. I prefer dogs that can strike a track go till they bay him up. Then put the biters in. Strike and bay dogs have no business fighting a hog. There job is to find them, the hardest part. This is the SPORT to me matching a dogs ability to find and bay a pig. I have kicked the idea around of only sight hunting big boars. Rigging Sho Nuff bad dogs picking your trophy say 200lbs plus and sending a  couple to him. Fun ? Yes! Good dogs ? No just tough gritty,mean . You can get them anywhere for cheep it the excesories that cost you the Jack.I know. There are a few of you on here have some that have some smart rough dogs. If so you are fortunate it's what every body want and VERY few have 

[bayed hard hog dogs]

Put him on the u.p.s. truck and send him to me I don't like them all night running hogs I try to put at least one rough dog in every pack on the ground, keep him hunt him enjoy him because when your looking for a rough dog you cant find one a smart one that is that's just my opinion and everybody has one 

[ole shep]

Oh I don't have one like that. They are up there with that 170" whitetail in my book

[bighogtexasstyle]

lmao JAKE been hard headed all his freaking life.that being said his mama wouldnt catch a hog but she would nut the sob.his old grampa caught two hogs in all his eleven years i owned him one at two and one at nine both barr's bout 250.i dont know why that sob is so damn kamakaze but if you aint happy with him i'll trade you a .243 for him lol.i do know them ybmc he comes from are on the rough side but aint none of them rough like he is.that sob'll catch a freight train.

Let's back up a bit... Were talkin about 300-600 yard med range strike find and then catch... only dog on the ground type of dog, don't know where we got help or sight dogs from but I'm talkin bout a one dog show... Yes scarred up and if it's a bad hog he will have to b carried out of the woods most of the time but he won't quit one till he's broke off or cut plum down... Believe it or not I've tied 200+ pound hogs with him alone more than once, I'm over 6' and he's 6" above my knee and averages 100#s he's got the size to hold em and the heart to not quit and before it's brought up, he will stay up with any other dog all day he ain't big and lazy or clumsy... Just one of them dogs there ain't no price tag on, two different guys tried swappin me their trucks for him at one point, I understand most don't like rough dogs and that's ok too lol the reasons are obvious, but rough to me don't mean gritty and all rough dogs are not help dogs or "rcds"
