What's everyone's opinion on a breed to get through thickets and brush good? I have dogs that will hammer hogs in open fields or clear woods but in brush just cant keep up. I had a heeler that was a machine, anyone heard of that?LOL

Good cur dogs of all colors have been doing it for more than 200 years in the southern U.S. Pick a color and find a good family of dogs that will get it done.

And if they can't do it how you want and in the terrain you hunt, then cull them. |

Get you some dogs from South Texas, that's pretty much all there is around here, brush, brush and more brush wait and thickets!

I hunt 4 dogs at a time and that's all, a lacy, red cur,a cat or hound depending on where I hunt, and my tank. They are all to big to get through the brush.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

I hunt 4 gyps, all under 45 lbs. Three plotts and one cat. No problems baying and staying in the brush. If the hogs break, my smaller dogs dont usually have a problem getting around. In my opinion, size with the grit to stay in a thicket is more important than breed.

I've never hunted South Texas, or where you hunt, but Lacys are not big dogs by their standards. Are you sure your dogs are worth feeding if they can't get it done? I'm not hammering on you or being a smarta$$, just a question to make you step back and re-analyze your dogs and the standards you hold for em, and stop making excuses for them. |

My lacy weighs about 60 to 70 pounds, its not that I'm not catching pigs at all its just Im wanting to know a small to med size breed that is gritty and athletic. I usually don't cut my pit loose red and blue catch once they are together.

it ain't the size of the dog in the fight , it's the size of the fight in the dog .... that applies to alot of situations - with animals and people .

Ive been all over texas and the thickest woods ive ever hunted have been in the E/ SE region. Jagds terriers are amazing in the thick woods.
Ya'll all know I love them yella dogs and I've got a yard full of em but there are a few places i prefer a couple good jagds.

Check out this video, we were chasing this pigs for a while. They were hunkered in a brush cave. Please excuse the language. It was so thick I was running into broken mesquite branches.
Check out this video on YouTube:

I hate to break it to ya pal but a 100% lacy doesn't weigh 60-70 lbs  Blue is male and 44 lbs Female is tri color and 34 they both meet standard on height and weight. A lacy at MOST is suppose to weight 50 lbs and that's top end. Might wanna check your lineage on that dog... Not to be rude but honest |
