Hounds- The original hunting dog!

[crj4926]

We had some walker running walkers and some plotts that were silent on track and would trail a hog off that cur dogs wouldn't even think about running but my honest opinion it all depends on the dogs drive to hunt it doesn't matter if it's a mutt or a registered yellow dog or a hound

I'm a hound man also. Ive had them all though cats, ybmc,airdales,ridgebacks, and cross them up,and line bred the good ones. But when I got older and got  New dogs   I went strait hound mainly plotts. I hunt with curs and some damn good ones. Some guys won't put there dogs with an open mouth dog. But that's ok too. If I hunted small places I would probably be hunting something else. I'm done babbling now.

Well I my self have been a long time hound man love hounds,  I personally have hounds I'm a sucker for a big walker,  I will back you 110 % waylon you know I will,  you will not beat a hound on nose, range,hunt and natural ability hands down best all around dog. I my self use ybmc to run hogs with but I'm not scared to give credit where credit is do.

Gotta put unregistered Yeller dogs in there....two totally different breeds!

I forgot about the unregistered yellow dogs I don't own a registered dog myself so I have to agree the unregistered ones are in a category all by themselves haha

Ive hunted em all and caught hogs with all, but if I had to pick between the two, it would be hounds, hands down. But I enjoy hunting with good cur dogs too, but the good ones are few and far between .
    Im no dog whisperer nor do I have large amount of time to "train" a dog. This is why the hounds work for me, actually this line of plotts I have now. Just take them to the woods and put them on a track, 6-8 months old, and they go.
    Im not sayin every hound will make a dog, cause they wont.
The hound bashing don't bother me much, cause I know most of the people bashing obviously have never seen a good one. Bit I also respect a mans preference to run silent dogs.

I agree with you 100 %. If your looking for bottom, and good old fashion "Get out from under my feet" hard headed game drive nothing comes close to a well bred Hound........Denny

LMAO at halfbreed and yellowblackmask.....the puppy "mexican stare off" is a classic! That could be made into a wall poster or a t shirt or something.i love it!!

Yeah repo not a chance!  But I will say this deep down in the back ground and to this day ol ybm had and still does have a big spot in his heart for a good old American made walker dog his family ran them for yrs. Now I'm not saying that me or him run them for hogs, we hunt what we hunt because thay hunt and produce. And do it quickly and silent but I coon hunt with walkers and blue tics that's just how I do it, not trying to make anyone mad but I have yet to hunt with anyone that is treeing coon or rabbit hunting or coyote hunting with a catahoula or black mouth cur. Thay have all got there place in the woods just don't bad mouth and bash them, just like beagles I have ran and been around them all my life and you will never see a more natural god given talent for running game, you show them a deer or rabbit one day the next day thay will be running there own track, and on the 3rd day they will run it when your in the house sleeping not even around,  now the reason is because thay are breed for it, just like hounds you can take any good coon dog and take him to your bay pen and I promise you he will bay the hell out of it if you put out a drag and place the pig he will find it because he is bred for his nose. Just like a lab you can let him run around in the yard but eventually if there is a ball or a stick out there he will pick it up and retrieve it. What I'm saying is thay all have there place and I'm not saying ones better at something but give credit to all.

I run BMC and one CAT- PLOTT ,  but the best dog Ive had the pleasure to hunt behind was a plott hound silant on track , to much dog for our hunting spots but waylon glad to have you back ,  RIP ANNY

[Purebreedcolt]

You know why the curs are better for hog hunting because they are smart enough to actually stop a hog and not run it for miles lol just playing.  I have a couple dogs with some black and tan in them and just natural hard headed hunters.

I like the way cur dogs look and handle, I like the way hounds hunt and their drive.  I like the cur/hound crosses, but if I had to pick one or the other it would have to be the hounds.

[Kessling Kennels]

I've culled way more curs than hounds over ther years.

Redbone male x YBMC cross is where I've found my best.
The hound gives them Hunt,range,bottom and the cur gave them the grit.

[TexasHogDogs]

Lmao after this post is done and finished the Hound breeders will be able to retire with the Rich and Famous!

[Kessling Kennels]

We already have

We are just waiting on the cur guys to show up
