A good while back I was looking for any old plot gyp that was through hunting but was good for one more litter...or one that no longer was needed on account the yard was full of dogs out of her...
almost bought a pup and was still looking...
I really wanted an old gyp from Cajun but he didn't have one to spare...He did offer to breed a female if I had one to his male of my choice...but I didn't have anything worth breeding...
then one day a fellow out of Arkansas PM'ed me...his name is Josh is all I will say right now because I don't have his permission to post his full name...anyways, he had a pochahantas plott that is a great hog dog...she is his second best behind a Rob Day mt cur he has that is hard to beat...
He said he would loan her to me for one litter bred to either his dog or one of mine...at no cost whatsoever...long story short I was to drive up there and pick her up and we made a date to meet...well mother nature doesn't wait...she started coming in heat and I couldn't get off because I was in the middle of a shutdown at work...My wife and grandson drove up there for me and it was a 17 hour round trip...
Josh...besides loaning me the gyp at no cost, he also drove about an hour to help out...he also brought about 25 pounds of dog food for me to transition he over to the feed I feed...
I appreciate his hospitality very much and will pay him a fair price because that is how I do business...I tell folks thank you much and the lord is blessing me with a job...so because of that I would like to pay my fair share...however...if I find myself without a job then I will gladly take the offer...
the good book says something along these lines...if both parties are happy then it is a good deal...If I didn't give something it wouldn't be a good deal because I wouldn't be happy...
She had 7 live pups and one of those was a female...my plan was to keep 3 females and cull down to one but somewhere along the way I lost her....just gone out of the yard...she was 2.5 weeks old so she didn't wonder off...so now I will cull down to 4 males...they are 5.7 weeks old right now and are as nice of pups I have had as far as looks go and they act right as well...I am very happy with these pups...they are very uniform looking for being 1/2 plot, 1/4 kemmer mt cur, 1/8th pitbull, 1/8th redbone...
I can about guarantee Josh has some go getters back in his home state...he raised some out of her and that bad to the bone mt cur he has...
I will post some pics later...

Josh sounds like one heck of a guy you can't ask for more than that. I can't wait to see the pups.sounds like they got the ingredients for some good dogs.Did you breed her to a male of yours?

It's good to have a plan, It's even better to see that plan come full circle. Congrats on the pups Reuben, I hope they are all so good that you have a hard time picking which ones to keep. Keep us posted on their progress.
