Nice Boar

[Reuben]

He’s a nice looking dog…it sounds like his foundation is really good…
I would breed him to one of his best daughters or relatives…
I put as much emphasis on the foundation as I do the dog I’m looking
at to breed…and sometimes more…

That's a really good Wooly hog, I like to see those that express the Russian influence. Got him with one good baydog as well, "I believe you will get more bad hogs bayed with the single baydog" the exception to that is a real goosy hog that might break when he hears the catchdog coming, in which case 2 or 3 dogs bayed make more racket to help cover the noise of the approaching catchdog, especially in the bad briar patches and thickets.

I try to keep a rough kinda dog in the box just for situations like that, if I've got a lone dog bayed and I know it's a going to be a good one I'll try to send only one catch dog if I can, but if we've got to send more than one we'll send the one with the better mouth first, and usually do a 5 count and send another one with the rough dog behind it just for the sake of the hog brakes there's a fresh set of wheels right behind the hog that'll pull that E-brake on one quick...

She rushes into them like she’s going to bite them but turns away from them at the last second. She targets the ass end like a heeler. She does it to groups and mature hogs. She looks for an opening to single out shoats. She will catch shoats but she will not bite a hog larger than her. She’s 47 lbs. she will pester a mid size hog on the back end until it runs. A sure enough rank hog will run over her and she will jump up squalling, bark a few times and if it don’t run from her, she’ll quit. I can understand her getting intimidated and quitting a rank hog or a large sounder really rallying on her. I hate that she wants to jump and run them.

She just pesters and pressured them w/o biting them. Quite frankly it’s hard to watch.

What kinda cur is she, breed and type wise, I feel ya on the aggravation part I can't stand for a dog to want to overly work a settled hog....

Yes sir Old Man. Those Russian genetics are prevalent on a few of the places I hunt. You don’t see many colored hogs there. Most of em are colored just like that boar. It has been my experience that a single bay dog can get hogs to stand pretty good. Hogs just don’t feel as threatened by a single dog. You are correct about them breaking at times when catch dogs come. I’ve noticed that having the little gyp in there baying with him has helped.

Goose she is 3/4 catahoula, 1/8 kelpie, 1/8 bulldog. She’s pretty scatterbred. Her momma was a pretty nice black & tan cat gyp with a good loose baying style. Her Daddy was a real tight, get in a hogs face and bay until he saw an opening to try to catch. He was nice to hunt by himself but he was too catchy to pack hunt. She took his mindset on the bayin to catch part. She hunts and runs a track like her momma. She yips on a hot track or a busted hog that she can see. Neither parent done that.

Thank you Rueben. I really wanted to breed him to his paternal aunt. She was a very nice dog with a similar style and look to him. Unfortunately the guy who owned her quit hunting and she was his family dog. He would not breed her. I have access to a couple of half sisters on the maternal side but I like the top side of his line better.

In all honesty I have never really wanted to be a breeder. I would rather find me a dog supplier and buy weaned age pups and the occasional started or finished dog from them. Finding the dig supplier has turned out to be harder than breeding my own!

That kelpie and bulldog in there is definitely shining through, actually it's an interesting cross, 3 very different style s of working dog, no wonder she's doing that lol, when I was in high school my my uncles healer dog bred one of his cur dogs and we hunted with them for a few seasons until they all got killed or died, now I can visualize what your frustration are bc I've dealt with it with the one pair we had...
