people are crazy

I believe what the man was getting at was keep the catchdog put away a few times and sneak all the way to the bay and watch the dogs to see if you've got one or more agitating the hog instead of simply baying it nicely and letting it settle in to being bayed. I know that was the case for lots of dogs I've gone through this past couple years, lots of them would " bay the hair off a hog" but with no baypen to keep the hog from running, those dogs were useless like tits on a boar.

I'm not attacking you either, I don't know you from Adam, just being helpful hopefully

well you cant read we have wind dogs that hunt off the truck when our dogs bark or jump off the truck we wait untill they bay then we cut the catch dogs out and run to the bay we never have are catch dogs on the ground we like to see our dogs work in the day or night

That's all Jody said, you reiterated his point he was making to a T!  You don't get to see your bay dogs actually work a hog.  You have bulldogs running loose with one bark, that's not watching bay dogs work a hog.

Seems like some one cough cough 86 cough cough is gettin a lil frazzled , hell t bob if I didn't run rcds id sure sneak off to the bay and watch then run back to the truck for my catch  dogs to  lol I mean uh shoot where'd the hog go again

There are lots,of different styles of hunting. 86 if thats your thats your style. Not going to run it down. Glad to have you to the board.  I just do not believe all dogs can be trained to be a hog dog. I also don't believe a group of lets say 10 dogs total your pound puppies is going to be better hog dogs or any where in the same league as a group of dogs with gentics to work stock or game. You might luck up on a couple from the pound but its just luck. Is all im,saying. I do not start my pups with grown dogs all the time. They start there selves. I just expose them and gentics kick in.

You are correct. There are culls in every line, no matter how much hype and talk there is about a paticular yeller, hound or spotted dog line.

Cward your spoiled lol.  You need to start spreading your yellow dog love hahaha.

I buying me some a Ben breed dog a Parker dog, a plot hound, a blue tick, a red bone, a blue lacy , a walker dog, a bird dog, a pit  a American, and a dogo. My plans are to mix all these dogs and get me a spotted catahula.lol in ten years you will be able to find them all in the pounds and make hogs dogs at of them all.

Better throw some coyote in there too, you know for their natural stock sense and all. 

[Purebreedcolt]

Lol cward.  You told me at one of the ttha conventions how you got started with your dogs you have now and not everyone is as fortunate to have the help and start you did.  I agree with you pretty much across the board on this subject but not everyone likes yellow lmao.  Personally I think it is a wussy color lol.  Plus you catch hogs with a jrt now who does that.  Lol just poking fun at ya. 

[Purebreedcolt]

Great tbob just great you had to bring yotes into this.

Well if it worked before...
 
 

[Purebreedcolt]

Tbob ur a good example if you did not have someone help u out in the dog department would you have the quality dogs you have now?  I ask this seriously as I don't think you could have bought them dogs they had to be given right?  The point I'm tring to get at is you have to be in the right spot and know the right people to get some dogs most being of great blood and or potential they are not for sale.  Sorta have to be "lucky"

[crackae11]

Hey cward when that lines available I call pick of the litter !  ill pay in peso's

[T-Bob Parker]

I firmly believe if a man sets his mind to it, he can go thru lots of dogs and find the best he's able and make wise breeding decisions and after several years he'll have something real special (to him) and really what more could you ask for.

I talked to a guy in mississipi yesterday while I was there at his farm an he had thus that and the other crossed up and was super proud of them and doing really really really well with em. He'd caught 28 hogs this month so far, becuase he had high standards and stuck to them.

My best buddy Josh has extremely high standards and principles in what he wants from a dog and breeds accordingly. Becuase of this, he's got some serious deep hard hunting good baying catahoulas

The list could go on and on.

[Purebreedcolt]

You bring up a good point though not everyones standards are the same.  I know for certain my standards in my strike/bay/find dogs are not near as high as yours but when it comes to cds I expect a lot.  There lies another difference is our standards may all be high but not in the same categories.

True true bro. You know Ill use anything for a catchdog! Hahahahahaha!

If you think my catchdog standards are goofy, you gotta see CWards "Gizmo" dog!! Thats the only hair-lipped dog I've ever seen! When he barks he says "mark mark", when you really get him all reved up and excited, that dog says "MARK MARK MARK!"
