ok maybe we have a misunderstanding, Mccoy what you posted is excaclty what point i was trying to get across in my pevious post.
JHY as far as dog hunting about a year. I have gone almost every weekend in that time frame. As far knowledge I dont have as much as some people, but I do know excactly what i look for out of every breed of dog. and a yappy Ridgeback isnt one of them. Why does it matter?

Nosights,
A clarification.
JHY / Joey did not ask you how long you have been hunting. JSH did.

I tell ya, I never thought about them much until I hunted with McCoy's. Bo is a damn nice dog and I am really liking the one I got from him. For a pup, he has lots of snap. He can run all night, he's straight as a string, seems to have a good nose, and can make a hog have a bad night!

well i will take one over most breeds anyday and thats a fact!! so you will take Ridgeback that just is just straight bay over a BMC (lets say just for an example) that is straight bay. That is just the novelty factor so people can say yeah I got a Ridgeback. There is no real advantage to having a 115 lb baydog. Give me one advantage to having a 100 lb Bay dog. The advantage would be if that sucker could use his size to shut a pig down. Thats all iam saying in my opinion like i said before it would be a cull in my book. let also clarify we are talking about the ridgbacks here that are available to us. not some mystical ancient breed dogs. |

So....with this logic, does that mean that a BMC that will catch is a cull?  ? Is he a cull if he catches with another dog too?? If you buy a dog of any breed as a bay dog and he bays....is he a cull?? I have had and hunted with many a BMC that was 80 lbs and up and would bay until you got there then catch as good as any bulldog. Man, i wish I could find some more culls like that!! |

Nosights,
When I first started reading your posts on this thread,,,I thought, "this dude is out there..." Now, I think I know what you are saying...
Why feed a 100# dog that only bays, when you can feed a 50# dog that only bays.
Am I understanding you correctly?

Are all Ridgebacks that big? I don't think yall want to start a discussion about why people feed what they do.   |

Why feed a 100lb dogo when you feed a 40lb pit. Some people like them. Plus most bay dogs help catch when the bull dog gets there. If you are limited to the number of dogs then larger by dogs are a good thing if you are only running one bulldog.

cantex thats what iam saying, the only reason would be for show. and to say you had a 110# ridgeback that will only do the same thing as your 35# cur. It just doesnt make sense to me
like i said I would like to hear one good advantage to having 100 ridgeback that only bays to anytype of cur around 50 pounds that does the same.
now muleman i can see advantages in everything you said so iam not really understanding your point on that.

Its just some people's preference. I like yellow and red cur gyps,,, they are not any better or worse than any thing else out there. It may not be about cost of food. For some people an extra cup a day is a small price for having what they like. Look how many people drive diesels and jacked up trucks that don't need them... its just what they like.  If it is all about the cost of food... then I guess you would be right nosightsneeded. |

Neither did Algebra but there is a rhyme and reason for everything. Guess my Dad said it best when he said we culled to hard to early sometimes. If he would have done that to us we would have never lived passed the age of 7. LOL

My only thing is, I expect bay dogs to help catch when I get there or the bulldog gets there. Not much point of a 35 lb dog catching. believe me, I have one. In a perfect world, I would have two big dogs that would find pigs, bay till I got there and then catch like a bulldog. then I wouldnt need any other dogs at all. but if I had to feed 5 or 6 little dogs to do the same job, there just is no advantage they eat as much as 2 big dogs and its just more to mess with.

Dont get me wrong, I wasnt agreeing with you. Big dogs have a place, the same with smaller dogs. Just because it doesnt fit your style of hunting doesnt mean it is wrong. What kind of dogs do you perfer nosights? |

nosights try to understand folks don't have to run the same as u if than was the case their wouldnt be a forum because we would all have the same story to tell but by the way u think I have a ten pounds weiner dog that will bay the hell out of a hog picks up trails (his nose is always on the grounds ) will catch does that make better than curs. This started because a man ask if they were a joke no they are not they can and will do the job. Don't know if they are right forya but try and see good luck!
