The Coyote...and other Carnivores

Old Man, I do not mind answering your questions…I did get out of the dogs for a while…
And I do believe the right mt curs are some of the best…they hunt fast, wind, run a track fast, are quick locators and you can cast them, rig them or road them and they have lots of bottom…finding those dogs didn’t happen overnight but it didn’t take long and I believe I made them better…
Yes I did have a redbone x pit bull and he was a really good dog…but I needed something that could hunt and he was it…I crossed him to a kemmer and kept two pups and they were good hog dogs…still have one of them…the other passed on…
But like I have said before there is a bunch of junk out there…if you look at today’s mt cur many are small with small ears and are hot nosed and really can’t run a track…I am sure there are some really good ones but I do not know about them…here resently I have found quite a few good kemmers out there and made a friend who likes the same type of dogs I do and so we are sharing pups…
I have culled many while looking for a good line of dogs…I also have culled many so called excellent plotts for other reasons as well…
I tried to stay away from the kemmers but there are good ones there that I know of and so I have some of those crosses…so far the plotts I have liked are the pochahontas and I really like the pup I have now….she is weems and shamrock breeding from the best dogs that these guys have…the pochahontas were out of the best dogs that was had at the time by another hunter…so at least that is on my side…
When I said I was going into it again I said I was not moving fast in creating a bloodline or even creating a bloodline…just breeding for a few good dogs…but then it has been a hard row to hoe in finding the type of dogs I like…I want one type of dog that can do all I like from a dog and look good doing it…
It seems to me that you are looking for weakness in what I write…but I am ok with at…like I said before…any breeding question I probably already dealt with it at one time or another...
The biggest problem I’m having right now is hunting my dogs enough…great dogs don’t need many tracks to look good but they need enough tracks so they can reach their potential…
